64cc7f0ca7a44bb214396c829268a541ab286c69 created the very useful
afs_StaleVCache() helper function, but unfortunately it also introduced
a subtle change into how we check for whether a vcache may be a directory.
Previously, we just used the low bit of the Fid's Vnode number, since files
have an even number and non-files an odd number. The new version uses
that check but also explicitly checks `vType(avc)` against VDIR, and this new
check involves consulting information stored in the associated vnode entry,
not the vcache directly. The afs_FlushVCache() implementation for
XBSD and DARWIN NULLs removes the cross-linkage between vcache and vnode,
so that AFSTOV(avc) becomes NULL. Just a few lines later, it calls
afs_StaleVCacheFlags(), at which point vType() dereferences a bad pointer
(offset from a NULL pointer) and panics. This would happen during shutdown,
or other periodic reclaim/flush events that can be scheduled.
