This is several year's worth of fail point upgrades done at EMC Isilon. They
are interdependent enough that it makes sense to put a single diff up for them.
Primarily, we added:
- Changing all mainline execution paths to be lockless, which lets us use fail
points in more sleep-sensitive areas, and allows more parallel execution
- A number of additional commands, including 'pause' that lets us do some
interesting deterministic repros of race conditions
- The ability to dump the stacks of all threads sleeping on a fail point
- A number of other API changes to allow marking up the fail point's context in
the code, and firing callbacks before and after execution
- A man page update

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

Add support for kernel fault injection using KFAIL_POINT_* macros and
fail_point_* infrastructure. Add example fail point in vfs_bio.c to
simulate VM buf pressure.
