Remove OBJT_SWAP_TMPFS. Move tmpfs-specific swap pager bits into
tmpfs_subr.c.
There is no longer any code to directly support tmpfs in sys/vm, most
tmpfs knowledge is shared by non-anon swap object type implementation.
The tmpfs-specific methods are provided by registered tmpfs pager, which
inherits from the swap pager.

This is OBJT_SWAP pager, specialized for tmpfs. Right now, both swap pager
and generic vm code have to explicitly handle swap objects which are tmpfs
vnode v_object, in the special ways. Replace (almost) all such places with
proper methods.
Since VM still needs a notion of the 'swap object', regardless of its
use, add yet another type-classification flag OBJ_SWAP. Set it in
vm_object_allocate() where other type-class flags are set.
This change almost completely eliminates the knowledge of tmpfs from VM,
and opens a way to make OBJT_SWAP_TMPFS loadable from tmpfs.ko.

For anonymous objects, provide a handle kvo_me naming the object,

to deconstruct the shadow chain. Right now the handle is the address
of the object in KVA, but this is not guaranteed.
For the same anonymous objects, report the swap space used for actually
swapped out pages, in kvo_swapped field. I do not believe that it is
useful to report full 64bit counter there, so only uint32_t value is
returned, clamped to the max.
For kinfo_vmentry, report anonymous object handle backing the entry,
so that the shadow chain for the specific mapping can be deconstructed.

Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

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

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.

paging.
Shadow objects are marked with a COLLAPSING flag while they are collapsing with
their backing object. This gives us an explicit test rather than overloading
paging-in-progress. While split is on-going we mark an object with SPLIT.
These two operations will modify the swap tree so they must be serialized
and swap_pager_getpages() can now directly detect these conditions and page
more conservatively.
Callers to vm_object_collapse() now will reliably wait for a collapse to finish
so that the backing chain is as short as possible before other decisions are
made that may inflate the object chain. For example, split, coalesce, etc.
It is now safe to run fault concurrently with collapse. It is safe to increase
or decrease paging in progress with no lock so long as there is another valid
ref on increase.
This change makes collapse more reliable as a secondary benefit. The primary
benefit is making it safe to drop the object lock much earlier in fault or
never acquire it at all.
This was tested with a new shadow chain test script that uncovered long
standing bugs and will be integrated with stress2.

Previously swap space was freed on a best effort basis when a page that
had valid swap was dirtied, thus invalidating the swap copy. This may be
done inconsistently and requires the object lock which is not always
convenient.
Instead, track when swap space is present. The first dirty is responsible
for deleting space or setting PGA_SWAP_FREE which will trigger background
scans to free the swap space.
