    kernel - RB_SCAN() requires a short-term spinlock
    
    * RB_SCAN() links and unlinks an info structure.  If called with a shared
      lock the linking and unlinking operations requires a very short-term spin
      lock to avoid clobbering each other.
    
    * Note that RB_REMOVE() scans the inprog list but this function can only
      be safely called with the RB tree held exclusively anyway, so there's
      no need to spinlock the info list.
    
    * Add kern/subr_rbtree.c glue functions for acquiring and releasing the
      spinlock, so sys/tree.h only needs to include sys/spinlock.h and not
      also sys/spinlock2.h
