As recently reported by riastradh@:

ATF cases with vnd(4) can results in the system crash. This one

probably suggests that vnd(4) can cause ill-formed access to
underlying device!

Actually, if you are good (bad?) luck enough, you can observe
similar messages by carrying out typical vnd(4) operations manually:

```
dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/foo
vnconfig vnd0 /root/foo
newfs /dev/rvnd0a
```

newfs(8) fails even if the system does not crash.

Also note that similar failure also happens for tmpfs, i.e.,
tests/fs/tmpfs/t_vnd.
>How-To-Repeat:
Described above.
