Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

Our geom withering function could take some time before geom with its
providers and consumers will be destroyed. Before take some actions
with a geom, check that it is not destroyed at the moment.

Make diagnostic messages more specific. With bootverbose print out
all inconsistencies of integrity in the partition table, not first
found only.

Fix regression introduced in r215088: gpart(8) reports
"arg0 'provider': Invalid argument" after creating new partition
table.
Move code for search of existing geom into g_part_find_geom
function and use this function instead of g_part_parm_geom
in g_part_ctl_create.
