Removed dead code that assumed that M_TRYWAIT can return NULL; it's not true
since the advent of MBUMA.

There are ongoing disputes as to whether we want to switch to directly using
UMA flags M_WAITOK/M_NOWAIT for mbuf(9) allocation.

has now been removed, they are no longer required. Removing them
significantly simplifies error-handling in the socket layer, eliminated
quite a bit of unwinding of locking in error cases.
While here clean up the now unneeded opt_net.h, which previously was used
for the NET_WITH_GIANT kernel option. Clean up some related gotos for
consistency.

o Make NFS cache the credential provided at mount-time, and use
the cached credential (nfsmount->nm_cred) when making calls to
socreate() on initially connecting, or reconnecting the socket.
This fixes bugs involving NFS over TCP and ipfw uid/gid rules, as well
as bugs involving NFS and mandatory access control implementations.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.
