Log:
MFC: For low memory situations, non-VMIO buffers didnt't release pages back
to the system when brelse() was called with B_RELBUF set on the buffer.
This could be a problem when the system was low on memory, had many
buffers on QUEUE_EMPTYKVA and started to traverse directories. For
each getnewbuf(), pages were allocated from the system, driving the
free reserve downwards. For each brelse(), the system put the buffer
on QUEUE_CLEAN, with B_INVAL set.
This commit changes the semantics of B_RELBUF to also free pages from
non-VMIO buffers.
