How do I do that?

BTW, I've looked at the code in vn_statfile():

        vn_lock(vp, LK_EXCLUSIVE | LK_RETRY, td);
        error = vn_stat(vp, sb, td);
        VOP_UNLOCK(vp, 0, td);

it seems that either vn_lock() fails to actually lock the vnode, or
there's a race condition that causes the vnode to get unlocked between
vn_lock() and vn_stat().  Since the panic is 100% reproducible, I'm
inclined to think it's the former.  Note that vn_statfile() fails to
check the return code from vn_lock(), but LK_RETRY is supposed to mean
vn_lock() never fails.
