    kernel - Fix cpu/token starvation, vfs_busy deadlocks. incls sysctl
    
    * Remove the mplock around the userland sysctl system call, it should no
      longer be needed.
    
    * Remove the mplock around getcwd(), it should no longer be needed.
    
    * Change the vfs_busy(), sys_mount(), and related mount code to use the
      per-mount token instead of the mp lock.
    
    * Fix a race in vfs_busy() which could cause it to never get woken up.
    
    * Fix a deadlock in nlookup() when the lookup is racing an unmount.  When
      the mp is flagged MNTK_UNMOUNT, the unmount is in progress and the lookup
      must fail instead of loop.
    
    * per-mount token now protects mp->mnt_kern_flag.
    
    * unmount code now waits for final mnt_refs to return to the proper value,
      fixing races with other code that might temporarily ref the mount point.
    
    * Add lwkt_yield()'s in nvtruncbuf*() and nvnode_pager_setsize(), reducing
      cpu stalls due to large file-extending I/O's.  Also in tmpfs.
    
    * Use a marker in the vm_meter code and check for vmobj_token collisions.
      When a collision is detected, give other threads a chance to take the
      token.  This prevents hogging of this very important token.
