44c125c4ce switched the nvlist allocations
to be M_WAITOK, but this precludes the use in non-sleepable contexts.
(E.g. with a nonsleepable lock held).
All callers for these allocation functions already cope with memory
alloation failures, so there's no reason to allow sleeping during
allocations.

nvpair_create_stringv: free the temporary string; this fix affects
nvlist_add_stringf() and nvlist_add_stringv().
nvpair_remove_nvlist_array (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY case): free the chain
of nvpairs (as resetting it prevents nvlist_destroy() from freeing it).
Note: freeing the chain in nvlist_destroy() is not sufficient, because
it would still leak through nvlist_take_nvlist_array(). This affects
all nvlist_*_nvlist_array() use

The nvlist_append_{bool,number,string,nvlist,descriptor}_array() functions
allows to dynamically extend array stored in the nvlist.
Submitted by: Mindaugas Rasiukevicius <rmind@netbsd.org>
- Add
nvlist_{add,get,take,move,exists,free}_{number,bool,string,nvlist,
descriptor} functions.
- Add support for (un)packing arrays.
- Add the nvl_array_next field to the nvlist structure.
If an array is added by the nvlist_{move,add}_nvlist_array function
this field will contains next element in the array.
- Add the nitems field to the nvpair and nvpair_header structure.
This field contains number of elements in the array.
- Add special flag (NV_FLAG_IN_ARRAY) which is set if nvlist is a part of
an array.
- Add special type (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY_NEXT).This type is used only
on packing/unpacking.
- Add new API for traversing arrays (nvlist_get_array_next).
- Add the nvlist_get_pararr function which combines the
nvlist_get_array_next and nvlist_get_parent functions. If nvlist is in
the array it will return next element from array. If nvlist is last
element in array or it isn't in array it will return his
container (parent). This function should simplify traveling over nvlist.
- Add tests for new features.
- Add documentation for new functions.
- Add my copyright.
- Regenerate the sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/nvpair.h file.

- the nvlist error is set, or
- the nvlist case ignore flag is not set and there is attend to
add element with duplicated name.
In both cases the nvlist_move_nvpair() function free nvpair structure.
If library will try to unpack a binary blob which contains duplicated
names it will end up with using memory after free.
To prevent that, the nvlist_move_nvpair() function interface is changed
to report about failure and checks are added to the nvpair_xunpack()
function.

The goal of this operation is to NOT install header files which shouldn't
be used outside the nvlist library.
