    kernel - Improve regressions in usched_dfly (1)
    
    * The new scheduler is MP locked at a very fine-grain.  The old scheduler
      had a global spinlock which effectively serialized competing cores during
      exit/wait sequences.
    
      With the new scheduler this serialization is gone and resulted in a
      vfork performance regression due to a fallback tsleep loop in the
      reaper.
    
    * This fixes the problem with an explicit signal bit for tsleep/wakeup.
      The sequence is avoided if the reaper determines the thread has
      already completed its exit.
