Move dynamic sysctl(8) variable creation for the cd(4) and da(4) drivers
out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt context.

The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK),

Move dynamic sysctl(8) variable creation for the cd(4) and da(4) drivers
out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt context.

The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK), which causes problems
if malloc(9) actually needs to sleep.

The eventual fix for this issue will involve moving the CAM probe process
inside a kernel thread. For now, though, I have fixed the issue by moving
dynamic sysctl variable creation for these two drivers to a task queue
running in a kernel thread.

The existing task queues (taskqueue_swi and taskqueue_swi_giant) run in
software interrupt handlers, which wouldn't fix the problem at hand. So I
have created a new task queue, taskqueue_thread, that runs inside a kernel
thread. (It also runs outside of Giant -- clients must explicitly acquire
and release Giant in their taskqueue functions.)

scsi_cd.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from cdregister(), and
move it to a new function, cdsysctlinit(). Queue
cdsysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once we
have fully registered the cd(4) driver instance.

scsi_da.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from daregister(), and
move it to move it to a new function, dasysctlinit().
Queue dasysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once
we have fully registered the da(4) instance.

taskqueue.h: Declare the new taskqueue_thread taskqueue, update some
comments.

subr_taskqueue.c:
Create the new kernel thread taskqueue. This taskqueue
runs outside of Giant, so any functions queued to it would
need to explicitly acquire/release Giant if they need it.

cd.4: Update the cd(4) man page to talk about the minimum command
size sysctl/loader tunable. Also note that the changer
variables are available as loader tunables as well.

da.4: Update the da(4) man page to cover the retry_count,
default_timeout and minimum_cmd_size sysctl variables/loader
tunables. Remove references to /dev/r???, they aren't used
any longer.

cd.9: Update the cd(9) man page to describe the CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
quirk.

taskqueue.9: Update the taskqueue(9) man page to describe the new thread
task queue, and the taskqueue_swi_giant queue.
