Move UPCALL related data structure out of kse, introduce a new
data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.

A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.

Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.

Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.

KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.

When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.

The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.

- Remove PRS_ZOMBIE check from CPU limit test in mi_switch(). PRS_ZOMBIE
processes don't call mi_switch(), and even if they did there is no longer
the danger of p_limit being NULL (which is what the original zombie check
was added for).
- When we bump the current processes soft CPU limit in ast(), just bump the
private p_cpulimit instead of the shared rlimit. This fixes an XXX for
some value of fix. There is still a (probably benign) bug in that this
code doesn't check that the new soft limit exceeds the hard limit.

Change p_cpulimit to be in seconds instead of microseconds. Since
p_runtime now is a bintime, it is no longer an optimization to store
p_cpulimit as microseconds.

Use the fields in the sysentvec and in the vm map header in place of the
constants VM_MIN_ADDRESS, VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS, USRSTACK and PS_STRINGS.
This is mainly so that they can be variable even for the native abi, based
on different machine types. Get stack protections from the sysentvec too.
This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on

need Giant to protect p_ucred of curproc for the p_canfoo() functions

Change the suser() API to take advantage of td_ucred as well as do a
general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Lock struct pgrp, session and sigio.

New locks are:

- pgrpsess_lock which locks the whole pgrps and sessions,
- pg_mtx which protects the pgrp members, and
- s_mtx which protects the session members.

Please refer to sys/proc.h for the coverage of these locks.

Changes on the pgrp/session interface:

- pgfind() needs the pgrpsess_lock held.

- The caller of enterpgrp() is responsible to allocate a new pgrp and
session.

- Call enterthispgrp() in order to enter an existing pgrp.

- pgsignal() requires a pgrp lock held.
