Hi!

I've recently up'd my processor count on our poudriere box and have 
started noticing the error
"witness_lock_list_get: witness exhausted" on the console.  The kernel 
*DOES NOT* crash but I
thought the report may be useful to someone.

$ uname -a
FreeBSD poudriere 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #1 r325999: Sun Nov 
19 18:41:20 EST 2017
mikej at poudriere:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The machine is pretty busy running four poudriere build instances.

last pid: 76584;  load averages: 115.07, 115.96, 98.30
