unionfs: detect common deadlock-producing mount misconfigurationsHEADmain

When creating a unionfs mount, it's fairly easy to shoot oneself
in the foot by specifying upper and lower file hierarchies that
resolve back to the same vnodes.  This is fairly easy to do if
the sameness is not obvious due to aliasing through nullfs or other
unionfs mounts (as in the associated PR), and will produce either
deadlock or failed locking assertions on any attempt to use the
resulting unionfs mount.

Leverage VOP_GETLOWVNODE() to detect the most common cases of
foot-shooting at mount time and fail the mount with EDEADLK.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive check for all possible
deadlock-producing scenarios, but it is an extremely cheap and
simple approach that, unlike previous proposed fixes, also works
in the presence of nullfs aliases.
