7abab91135 sblock() implements a sleep lock by interlocking SB_WANT and SB_LOCK flags
on each socket buffer with the socket buffer's mutex.  This sleep lock is
used to serialize I/O on sockets in order to prevent I/O interlacing.

This change replaces the custom sleep lock with an sx(9) lock, which
results in marginally better performance, better handling of contention
during simultaneous socket I/O across multiple threads, and a cleaner
separation between the different layers of locking in socket buffers.
Specifically, the socket buffer mutex is now solely responsible for
serializing simultaneous operation on the socket buffer data structure,
and not for I/O serialization.

While here, fix two historic bugs:

(1) a bug allowing I/O to be occasionally interlaced during long I/O
    operations (discovere by Isilon).

(2) a bug in which failed non-blocking acquisition of the socket buffer
    I/O serialization lock might be ignored (discovered by sam).
