    kernel - kmemstatistics list wasn't MPSAFE
    
    * Put a spinlock around the kmemstatistics list.  This list is modified
      whenever a kmalloc area is created or destroyed, and this generally does
      not happen concurrently except with kernels run by expert hackers like
      us and get scared.
    
    * ...Or if a machine is running synth and/or doing a lot of concurrent
      tmpfs mounts and unmounts.
