(kgdb) l *propagate_priority+0x6e
0xc019fdce is in propagate_priority (../../kern/kern_mutex.c:201).
201                     MPASS(p->p_magic == P_MAGIC);

Well, err, maybe this line, considering none of the rest of my line numbers
match up I doubt it is this one. :(  Could you pull up kgdb on your
kernel.debug and find out which line this died in?  It could either be that p
is NULL (which could be an unintialized mutex that a mtx_lock later blocked on.)
In fact, this is quite likely just using a mutex that hasn't been init'd.
Might want to add in some code to try to display the description of a mutex if
p == NULL (though it is probably invalid, too.)  Another take might be to add
assertions to the start of mtx_lock_flags() and mtx_lock_spin_flags() that
panic if mtx_lock == 0.
