thorpej d3f54e81dd Fix the following pathological scanario:
* User allocates ZFOD region, but does not actually touch the buffer
  to fault in the pages.
* In a loop, user writes this buffer to a network socket, triggering
  sosend_loan().
* uvm_loan() calls uvm_loanzero() once for each page in the loaned
  region (since the pages have not yet faulted in).  This causes a
  page to be allocated and zero'd.  The result is the kernel spends
  a lot of time allocating and zero'ing pages.

This fixes creates a special object which owns a single zero'd page.
This single zero'd page is used to satisfy all loans of non-resident
ZFOD mappings.

Thanks to Allen Briggs for discovering the problem and for providing
an initial patch.
