    kernel - Fix resident_count problems with kernel_pmap & related crashes
    
    * kernel_pmap.pm_stats.resident_count could get out of sync due to the
      lwbuf code calling kmem_free() on KVM with pages that were entered
      via pmap_kenter().  Delete the pages before calling kmem_free().
    
      This in turn caused various failures and kernel panics due to conditionals
      based on resident_count == 0.  Heavy sendfile() activity could trigger
      the bug but it was taking a few days for the resident_count to decrement
      to zero.
    
    * Fix a similar issue in zdestroy() on ZONE_INTERRUPT zones.  Nothing calls
      this routine so it was not a vector for crashes.
    
    * Document the case.
