error and modify all callers to not brelse() on error.
Welcome to 6.99.16
PR kern/46282 (6.0_BETA crash: msdosfs_bmap -> pcbmap -> bread -> bio_doread)
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.

1) Comply with the way buffercache(9) is intended to be used. Now we
read in single blocks of EFS_BB_SIZE, never taking in variable
length extents with a single bread() call.
2) Handle symlinks with more than one extent. There's no reason for
this to ever happen, but it's handled now.
3) Finally, add a hint to our iteration initialiser so we can start
from the desired offset, rather than naively looping through from
the beginning each time. Since we can binary search the correct
location quickly, this improves large sequential reads by about
40% with 128MB files. Improvement should increase with file size.
