It looks like the witness mutex debugging system crashed.  This sort
of thing tends to happen when the witness data structures become
corrupt.  A frequent cause of this is a module failing to destroy a
mutex.

I think the recent addition of the 

  MTX_SYSINIT(linux_osname, &osname_lock, "linux osname", MTX_DEF);

could be causing the problem, as I do not see how its getting torn
down.


Can you try the following patch (it may not even compile,  I don't
have a  current box handy):

(its obviously incomplete, just intended to see if it fixes the
problem you are seeing)
