    kernel - Fix races created by a comedy of circumstances
    
    * Fix several loop iteration races in the pmap code revealed by a chain
      of events.  Initially the commit to relax locking of vm_map for
      MADV_INVAL operations (used by the vkernel) worked just fine.  The
      idea being that the pmap code was fine-grained locked and so a wider
      encompassing lock should not have been needed.
    
      However, a later commit to reduce the size of the zalloc pcpu caches
      caused more cycling of pv_entry structures across cpus which revealed
      a number of SMP races in the pmap code.
    
    * A number of these races were fixed in recent commits and this commit
      fixes a few more, primarily in the vm_page_t pv_entry loop iterators.
