Not good.  Nothing should be writing to lk_interlock once it has been
initialized.  Either something is stomping on an active struct mount,
we're still using it after it has been put on the free list, or
dp->v_mountedhere is pointing somewhere bogus.  I don't suspect the
latter because the second panic() in the sync() code doesn't follow this
path to get to the struct mount.

That sounds like a possibility.  I might be able to try that here when I
have some idle time on my -CURRENT box.

Can you print *dp->v_mountedhere in the lookup() frame?  That should
show the mount point information and might show if anything else in
struct mount is damaged.
