such as those in tests, as an initialization phase cleaner may
prevent file system unmount.

Make it possible to run the lfs cleaner in a library fashion (taking
the quick route with the implementation).
run through copy-on-write. Call fscow_run() with valid data where possible.
The LP_UFSCOW hack is no longer needed to protect ffs_copyonwrite() against
endless recursion.
- Add a flag B_MODIFY to bread(), breada() and breadn(). If set the caller
intends to modify the buffer returned.
- Always run copy-on-write on buffers returned from ffs_balloc().
- Add new function ffs_getblk() that gets a buffer, assigns a new blkno,
may clear the buffer and runs copy-on-write. Process possible errors
from getblk() or fscow_run(). Part of PR kern/38664.

Note that if two blocks have the same inode and block number, they sort
the same (this should never happen, but if it does there's no reason to
have qsort scramble the list).
Add some diagnostic syslog messages for unusual cases.
In determining when to stop reading segments when counting bytes (-b flag),
total the sizes of the blocks we're actually writing instead of assuming
they are all full blocks: many could be fragments or inode blocks. This
increases the number of segments per Ifile write, markedly improving the
efficiency of the cleaner in the small file case.

Also, note the loss of only half a block per segment to fragmentation

Includes code for reading and writing to the raw disk device (so that an
unmounted fs could be cleaned), for the use of a single daemon to clean
multiple filesystems to save on resources, and for recording the old
contents of cleaned segments to offline storage for regression testing of
the LFS system as a whole; though these new features are not properly
tested at this point.
* Adapt lfs_cleanerd to use the fcntl call to get the Ifile filehandle,
so it need not be in the namespace.
* Make lfs_cleanerd be more careful when there are very few available
segments.
* Remove the Ifile from the filesystem namespace. The cleaner now uses
a fcntl call on the root inode to find the Ifile filehandle.
* Make lfs_cleanerd less verbose when the filesystem is unmounted.
