Hi,
I think I have a sufficient fix for PR kern/19572. Could somebody please
Review/Comment this?

Actually, the panic will occur after a simple forced unmount of the current
working directory and subsequent try to access "..". This is because the
vnode of the cwd was cleared and it's v_mount member was set to NULL. This
member is however dereferenced in the handling for the ".." special case in
lookup(), causing a panic.
The fix is rather trivial, just check the member before using it and return
an appropriate error. In the following patch, I use EBADF.
Btw, after taking a look into the OpenBSD and NetBSD repos, I think they
might have the same problem. Is there any standard channel to pass bug
reports to them from FreeBSD, or should I just use the normal submit
procedure?
