kernel - Fix swap issue, implement dynamic pmap PT/PD/PDP deletion
* The pmap code is now able to dynamically destroy PT, PD, and PDP
page table pages when they become empty. To do this we had to
recode the higher-level page tables to wire on creation of a lower-level
pv_entry instead of wiring on pte entry.
DragonFly previously left PD and PDP pages intact, and possibly also PTs,
until process exit. In normal operation this had no real impact since
most programs don't bloat up enough for the extra page table pages to
matter, but its good to finally fix it as it allows the pmap footprint
to be significantly reduced in the very few situations where a program
bloats and unbloats during operation.
* Fix an issue with recent swap changes. We must increase the stripe
between multiple swap devices to match the number of entries available
on a radix leaf, which increased from 32 to 64. This fixes a pstat -s
accounting error that would sometimes attribute swap frees to the wrong
device.
* Refactor the RSS limiting code to scan the pmap instead of scan the
vm_map and related underlying objects. This greatly enhances performance
because the underlying objects might have many pages that are not mapped.
By scanning the pmap, we avoid having to sift through them all.
Also makes use of the dynamic removal feature in the pmap code to restrict
the effort required to do the pmap scan, and allows us to avoid most of
the issues related to stacked VM objects.
