    kernel - Fix exit races which can lead to a corrupt p_children list
    
    * There are a few races when getting multiple tokens where a threaded
      process is wait*()ing for exiting children from multiple threads
      at once.
    
      Fix the problem by serializing the operation on a per-child basis,
      and by using PHOLD/PRELE prior to acquiring the child's p_token.
      Then re-check the conditions before accepting the child.
    
    * There is a small chance this will also reduce or fix VM on-exit races
      in i386, as this bug could result in an already-destroyed process
      being pulled off by the racing wait*().  Maybe 25% chance.
