these variables represent sizes in one capacity or another. There is
no reason to allow negative numbers. Change userspace shared structure
elements that get used for the modified functions from int to uint32_t,
since it's not clear what userspace programs use these fields, and we
do not want to break binary compatibility. This fixes a panic when
corrupt or bogus data is passed into the kernel.

long the string is in userspace, afterwards we call malloc(M_WAITOK),
which could sleep for an unknown amount of time. Check the return
value of copyin(9) just to be sure that nothing has changed during that
time.

- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.

- signotify() now operates on a thread since unmasked pending signals are
stored in the thread.
- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.
_KERNEL scope from "src/sys/sys/mchain.h".
Replace each occurrence of the above in _KERNEL scope with the
appropriate macro from the set of hto(be|le)(16|32|64) and
(be|le)toh(16|32|64) from "src/sys/sys/endian.h".

Requested by: comment marked with XXX
prototyped functions to get a sigset_t, and further to check for any
queued signals, rather than an empty signal set, to go with the move
to signal queues rather than signal sets.
