Remove the P_BUFEXHAUST flag from the syncer process (leaving
it only on the buf_daemon process). The problem is that when the
syncer process starts running the worklist, it wants to delete
lots of files. It does this by VFS_VGET'ing the vnodes, clearing
the blocks in them and bdwrite'ing the buffer. It can process close
to a thousand files per second which generates a large number of
dirty buffers. So, giving it special priviledge at the buffer trough
leads to trouble as the buf_daemon does occationally need a free
buffer to proceed and if the syncer has used every last one up,
we are toast.
