- Remove a couple of unused slab functions and make others local to

- Stop defining the slab structures under _KERNEL. There's no real

The intent is to provide a header that can be included by other headers
without introducing too much pollution. smr.h depends on various
headers and will likely grow over time, but is less likely to be
required by system headers.
Rename SMR_TYPE_DECLARE() to SMR_POINTER():
- One might use SMR to protect more than just pointers; it
could be used for resizeable arrays, for example, so TYPE seems too
generic.
- It is useful to be able to define anonymous SMR-protected pointer
types and the _DECLARE suffix makes that look wrong.

This presents an extensible interface to the generic mmap(2)
implementation via a struct pointer intended to use a designated
initializer or compount literal. We take advantage of the mandatory
zeroing of fields not listed in the initializer.
Remove kern_mmap_fpcheck() and use kern_mmap_req().
The motivation for this change is a desire to keep the core
implementation from growing an ever-increasing number of arguments
that must be specified in the correct order for the lowest-level
implementations. In CheriBSD we have already added two more arguments.

refcount(9) was recently extended to support waiting on a refcount to
drop to zero, as this was needed for a lockless VM object
paging-in-progress counter. However, this adds overhead to all uses of
refcount(9) and doesn't really match traditional refcounting semantics:
once a counter has dropped to zero, the protected object may be freed at
any point and it is not safe to dereference the counter.
This change removes that extension and instead adds a new set of KPIs,
blockcount_*, for use by VM object PIP and busy.

The minimum allocation size of 4 blocks is an old policy that came with
the "new" swap pager in r42957. Since then the blist allocator has
gotten better at reducing fragmentation; for example, with r349777 it
can return a range that spans multiple leaves. When swap space is close
to being exhaused, the minimum of 4 blocks most likely exacerbates
memory pressure, so reduce it to 1.

This provides the needed hint to GCC and offers an annotation for readers to
observe that it's in-fact impossible to hit this point. We'll get hit with a
a -Wswitch error if the enum applicable to the switch above were to get
expanded without the new value(s) being handled.
This enables very cheap read sections with free-to-use latencies and memory
overhead similar to epoch. On a recent AMD platform a read section cost
1ns vs 5ns for the default SMR. On Xeon the numbers should be more like 1
ns vs 11. The memory consumption should be proportional to the product
of the free rate and 2*1/hz while normal SMR consumption is proportional
to the product of free rate and maximum read section time.
While here refactor the code to make future additions more
straightforward.
Name the overall technique Global Unbound Sequences (GUS) and adjust some
comments accordingly. This helps distinguish discussions of the general
technique (SMR) vs this specific implementation (GUS).

putpages' allocation of swap blocks is done under the global sw_dev
lock. Previously it would drop that lock before inserting the allocated
blocks into the object's trie, creating a window in which swap blocks
are allocated but are not visible to swapoff. This can cause
swp_pager_strategy() to fail and panic the system.
Fix the problem bluntly, by allocating swap blocks under the object
lock.

swap_pager_swapoff_object()'s goal is to allocate pages for all valid
swap blocks belonging to the object, for which there is no resident
page. If the page corresponding to a block is already resident and
valid, the block can simply be discarded.
The existing implementation tries to minimize the number of I/Os used.
For each cluster of swap blocks, it finds maximal runs of valid swap
blocks not resident in memory, and valid resident pages. During this
processing, the object lock may be dropped in several places: when
calling getpages, or when blocking on a busy page in
vm_page_grab_pages(). While the lock is dropped, another thread may
free swap blocks, causing getpages to page in stale data.
Fix the problem following a suggestion from Jeff: use getpages'
readahead capability to perform clustering rather than doing it
ourselves. The simplies the code a bit without reintroducing the old
behaviour of performing one I/O per page.

Currently, the vm.panic_on_oom sysctl is a boolean which controls the
behavior of the VM system when it encounters an out-of-memory situation.
If set to 0, the VM system kills the largest process. If set to any other
value, the VM system will initiate a panic.
This change makes the sysctl a count of events. If set to 0, the VM system
kills the largest process. If set to any other value, the VM system will
kill the largest process until it has seen the specified number of
out-of-memory events. Once it reaches the specified number of events, it
will initiate a panic.
This change is helpful in capturing cores when the system is in a perpetual
cycle of out-of-memory events (as opposed to just hitting one or two
sporadic out-of-memory events).
