>Description:
During "shutdown -p now" of a pbulk run that was swapping heavily (has
something changed with libreoffice?), the following panic happened
(leaving disks needing fsck -y)

 I haven't seen this particular panic yet, but I have problems with
 this counter since at least 2017.

 My latest one was

 panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "uvmexp.swpgonly < uvmexp.swpginuse" failed: file "/usr/src/sys/uvm/uvm_pdaemon.c", line 795

 The backtrace is
 (gdb) bt
 #0  0xffffffff80239b85 in cpu_reboot (howto=howto@entry=260, bootstr=bootstr@entry=0x0) at /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/machdep.c:709

 #7  0xffffffff80210327 in lwp_trampoline ()

 Chuck Silvers took a number of looks at this over the years, and his
 best guess is that the counters are not maintained correctly, but we
 haven't found the root cause of this.
