    kernel - Make adjustments to the per-lwp ucred
    
    * Rename lwp_syscall_ucred to lwp_ucred and move ucred synchronization
      from syscall2() to userenter().  It now runs on any user entry into
      the kernel, not just for system calls.
    
      NOTE: A VM fault from the kernel itself does not call userenter() and
            does not trigger another synchronization.  This is the behavior
    	we desire, to ensure that lwp_ucred is stable.
    
      There are numerous non-syscall cases (e.g. signal, fault, etc) where
      we may need to access a safe ucred.
    
    * Remove the SMP conditional.  lwp_ucred is now tracked for both UP and SMP.
      There is no point optimizing this for UP since there is basically no cost
      for tracking lwp_ucred.
