Correct a long-standing performance bug in cluster_rbuild(). Specifically,
in the case of a file system with a block size that is less than the page
size, cluster_rbuild() looks at too many of the page's valid bits.
Consequently, it may terminate prematurely, resulting in poor performance.

- Complete part of the unfinished bufobj work by consistently using
BO_LOCK/UNLOCK/MTX when manipulating the bufobj.
- Create a new lock in the bufobj to lock bufobj fields independently.
This leaves the vnode interlock as an 'identity' lock while the bufobj
is an io lock. The bufobj lock is ordered before the vnode interlock
and also before the mnt ilock.
- Exploit this new lock order to simplify softdep_check_suspend().
- A few sync related functions are marked with a new XXX to note that
we may not properly interlock against a non-zero bv_cnt when
attempting to sync all vnodes on a mountlist. I do not believe this
race is important. If I'm wrong this will make these locations easier
to find.

- Move rusage from being per-process in struct pstats to per-thread in
td_ru. This removes the requirement for per-process synchronization in
statclock() and mi_switch(). This was previously supported by
sched_lock which is going away. All modifications to rusage are now
done in the context of the owning thread. reads proceed without locks.
- Aggregate exiting threads rusage in thread_exit() such that the exiting
thread's rusage is not lost.
- Provide a new routine, rufetch() to fetch an aggregate of all rusage
structures from all threads in a process. This routine must be used
in any place requiring a rusage from a process prior to it's exit. The
exited process's rusage is still available via p_ru.
- Aggregate tick statistics only on demand via rufetch() or when a thread
exits. Tick statistics are kept in the thread and protected by sched_lock
until it exits.

Change these descriptions of memory types used in malloc(9), as their
current, rather long strings make output from vmstat -m look unpleasant.

Replace PG_BUSY with VPO_BUSY. In other words, changes to the page's
busy flag, i.e., VPO_BUSY, are now synchronized by the per-vm object
lock instead of the global page queues lock.

Normalize a significant number of kernel malloc type names:

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.

- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.

- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.

- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.

- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.

Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.

Don't manually set b_bufobj, pbgetvp() does this for us.

Explicitly call pbrelvp()

Retire b_magic now, we have the bufobj containing the same hint.

Lock bp->b_bufobj->b_object instead of bp->b_object

Avoid using bp->b_vp when we already have the vnode by other means.
