Fix race between getf() and areleasef()

Browse Source 
If a vnode is released asynchronously through areleasef(), it is
possible for the user process to reuse the file descriptor before
areleasef is called. When this happens, getf() will return a stale
reference, any operations in the kernel on that file descriptor will
fail (as it is closed) and the operations meant for that fd will
never occur from userspace's perspective.

We correct this by detecting this condition in getf(), doing a putf
on the old file handle, updating the file descriptor and proceeding
as if everything was fine. When the areleasef() is done, it will
harmlessly decrement the reference counter on the Illumos file handle.
