I'm taking a guess here - the effective link count when it came to removing the parent directory was only two and it should have been three or more. This gets sanity checked this before proceeding, and panics if it is not. Why an effective link count of three? We're talking about the parent

So the system panics in ufs_rmdir(). Maybe the filesystem is corrupt? Have you tried to fsck(8) it manually? fsck worked, though I had to boot from a USB image because I couldn't get into single user.. for some odd reason. Even if the filesystem is corrupt, ufs_rmdir() shouldn't panic(),
