-CURRENT kernel panics when booting with debug.witness_watch tunable set to 0
in loader. It looks like witness_assert function should not do anything in
this case. Attached patch fixes the problem for me.
The panic I am getting looks like that:
panic: Lock (sx) fork list not locked @ ../../kern/kern_fork.c:590.
