- Addresses the issue described in PR/38828.
- Some simplification in threading and sleepq subsystems.
- Eliminates pmap_collect() and, as a side note, allows pmap optimisations.
- Eliminates XS_CTL_DATA_ONSTACK in scsipi code.
- Avoids few scans on LWP list and thus potentially long holds of proc_lock.
- Cuts ~1.5k lines of code. Reduces amd64 kernel size by ~4k.
- Removes __SWAP_BROKEN cases.
Tested on x86, mips, acorn32 (thanks <mpumford>) and partly tested on
acorn26 (thanks to <bjh21>).

process doing statvfs(!), just report 0. The code had some kernel
panicking bug after the descriptor code update, the functionality
is more like a bunny rabbit hat than anything useful, and I can't

Adjust file-system code to use it.
Keep vaccess() for KPI compatibility and to keep element of least
surprise. A "diagnostic" message warning that vaccess() is deprecated will
be printed when it's used (obviously, only in DIAGNOSTIC kernels).

- Avoid atomics in more places.
- Remove the per-descriptor mutex, and just use filedesc_t::fd_lock.
It was only being used to synchronize close, and in any case we needed
to take fd_lock to free the descriptor slot.
- Optimize certain paths for the <NDFDFILE case.
- Sprinkle more comments and assertions.
- Cache more stuff in filedesc_t.
- Fix numerous minor bugs spotted along the way.
- Restructure how the open files array is maintained, for clarity and so
that we can eliminate the membar_consumer() call in fd_getfile(). This is
mostly syntactic sugar; the main functional change is that fd_nfiles now
lives alongside the open file array.
Some measurements with libmicro:
- simple file syscalls are like close() are between 1 to 10% faster.
- some nice improvements, e.g. poll(1000) which is ~50% faster.

The vnode is always expected to be locked, so no locking is done outside
the file-system code.

- Rename SESSHOLD() and SESSRELE() to to proc_sesshold() and

There are still about 1600 left, but they have ',' or /* ... */

There are also many that need () -> (void).
(The script does handle misordered arguments.)

- A fix for an issue that can lead to "ffs_valloc: dup" due to dirty cg
buffers being invalidated. Problem discovered and patch by dholland@.
- If the syncer fails to lazily sync a vnode due to lock contention,
retry 1 second later instead of 30 seconds later.
- Flush inode atime updates every ~10 seconds (this makes most sense with
logging). Presently they didn't hit the disk for read-only files or
devices until the file system was unmounted. It would be better to trickle
the updates out but that would require more extensive changes.
- Fix issues with file system corruption, busy looping and other nasty
problems when logging and non-logging file systems are intermixed,
with one being the root file system.
- For logging, do not flush metadata on an inode-at-a-time basis if the sync
has been requested by ioflush. Previously, we could try hundreds of log
sync operations a second due to inode update activity, causing the syncer
to fall behind and metadata updates to be serialized across the entire
file system. Instead, burst out metadata and log flushes at a minimum
interval of every 10 seconds on an active file system (happens more often
if the log becomes full). Note this does not change the operation of
fsync() etc.
- With the flush issue fixed, re-enable concurrent metadata updates in
vfs_wapbl.c.

credentials with values of NOCRED or FSCRED were passed to kauth.
I don't see any way to set such a flag, I think its just a debug
thing that could be enabled at compile time by somebody who knew
how, hence the comment rather than a real fix.
