    kernel - VM rework part 2 - Replace backing_object with backing_ba
    
    * Remove the vm_object based backing_object chains and all related
      chaining code.
    
      This removes an enormous number of locks from the VM system and
      also removes object-to-object dependencies which requires careful
      traversal code.  A great deal of complex code has been removed
      and replaced with far simpler code.
    
      Ultimately the intention will be to support removal of pv_entry
      tracking from vm_pages to gain lockless shared faults, but that
      is far in the future.  It will require hanging vm_map_backing
      structures off of a list based in the object.
    
    * Implement the vm_map_backing structure which is embedded in the
      vm_map_entry and then links to additional dynamically allocated
      vm_map_backing structures via entry->ba.backing_ba.  This structure
      contains the object and offset and essentially takes over the
      functionality that object->backing_object used to have.
    
      backing objects are now handled via vm_map_backing.  In this
      commit, fork operations create a fan-in tree to shared subsets
      of backings via vm_map_backing.  In this particular commit,
      these subsets are not collapsed in any way.
    
    * Remove all the vm_map_split and collapse code.  Every last line
      is gone.  It will be reimplemented using vm_map_backing in a
      later commit.
    
      This means that as-of this commit both recursive forks and
      parent-to-multiple-children forks cause an accumulation of
      inefficient lists of backing objects to occur in the parent
      and children.  This will begin to get addressed in part 3.
    
    * The code no longer releases the vm_map lock (typically shared)
      across (get_pages) I/O.  There are no longer any chaining locks to
      get in the way (hopefully).  This means that the code does not
      have to re-check as carefully as it did before.  However, some
      complexity will have to be added back in once we begin to address
      the accumulation of vm_map_backing structures.
    
    * Paging performance improved by 30-40%
