    kernel - more SMP optimizations in the VM system
    
    * imgact_elf - drop the vm_object a little earlier in load_section(),
      and use a shared object lock when iterating ELF segments.
    
    * When starting a vforked process use a shared process token to
      interlock the wait loop instead of an exclusive token.  Also don't
      bother with the token if there's nothing to wait for.
    
    * When forking, pre-assign lp2 thread's td_ucred.
    
    * Remove the vp->v_object load check loop.  It should not be possible
      for vp->v_object to change after being assigned as long as the vp
      is referenced.
    
    * Replace most OBJ_DEAD tests with assertions that the flag is not set.
    
    * Remove the VOLOCK/VOWANT vnode interlock.  It shouldn't be possible
      for the vnode's object to change while the vnode is ref'd.  This was
      a leftover from a long-ago time when vnodes were more persistent and
      could be recycled and race accessors.
    
      This also removes vm_object_dead_sleep/wait and related code.
    
    * When memory mapping a vnode object there is no need to formally
      hold and chain_wait the object.  We can simply add a ref to it,
      because vnode objects cannot have backing chains.
    
    * When deallocating a vm_object we can shortcut counts greater than 1
      for OBJT_VNODE objects instead of counts greater than 3.
    
    * Optimize vnode_pager_alloc(), avoiding unnecessary locks.  Keep the
      temporary vnode token for the moment.
    
    * Optimize vnode_pager_reference(), removing all locks from the path.
