New Revision: 214144
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/214144

Log:
  - Make 'vm_refcnt' volatile so that compilers won't be tempted to treat
    its value as a loop invariant.  Currently this is a no-op because
    'atomic_cmpset_int()' clobbers all memory on current architectures.
  - Use atomic_fetchadd_int() instead of an atomic_cmpset_int() loop to drop
    a reference in vmspace_free().
