Upon further review, this is wrong, but the code that was there before was
wrong too.  The problem is that if we transferlockers we may transfer
threads that are legitimately waiting on the ufs lock rather than the null
lock.  I believe the solution is to reset our lock, but allow callers to
naturally return out of the ufs lock routine when they're ready.  The
vnode reference count will prevent anything from going away while we're
stuck in ufs's locking function.
