Panic during devfs ruleset operations on 6.0

I'm getting the following on multiple 6.0 machines (UP and SMP):

panic: ruleset 10 already running

--- syscall (54, FreeBSD ELF32, ioctl), eip = 0x280c007f, esp = 0xbfbfdeac, ebp = 0xbfbfdec8 ---

It comes from running the following operations:

        mount -t devfs foo ${chroot}/dev
        devfs -m ${chroot}/dev ruleset 10
        devfs -m ${chroot}/dev rule add path 'md*' hide
        devfs -m ${chroot}/dev rule applyset

These devfs operations are needed to work around another devfs panic,
which occurs when device nodes are removed from inside a devfs mount
at the same time the devfs is unmounted.

This panic is going to be very disruptive for the 6.0 package builds
until it can be fixed.
