[Bug 281560] gve (4) uma deadlock during high tcp throughput

Locks (except spinlocks) do not have any magic properties WRT disabling
scheduling.  So it is absolutely fine for a thread owning a lock to be
put off CPU if there is another thread with higher priority.  OTOH, for
locks like mutexes and rwlocks (that use turnstiles) the system propagates
priorities from lock contenders to lock owners to avoid priority inversion.

Which raises the question, what is the priority of that running tx thread
vs the priority of the lock owner?  Could it be that the tx thread was
assigned too high priority, causing this live-lock?
