PRIO_USER case, possibly also other places that deferences
p_ucred.
In the past, we insert a new process into the allproc list right
after PID allocation, and release the allproc_lock sx. Because
most content in new proc's structure is not yet initialized,
this could lead to undefined result if we do not handle PRS_NEW
with care.
The problem with PRS_NEW state is that it does not provide fine
grained information about how much initialization is done for a
new process. By defination, after PRIO_USER setpriority(), all
processes that belongs to given user should have their nice value
set to the specified value. Therefore, if p_{start,end}copy
section was done for a PRS_NEW process, we can not safely ignore
it because p_nice is in this area. On the other hand, we should
be careful on PRS_NEW processes because we do not allow non-root
users to lower their nice values, and without a successful copy
of the copy section, we can get stale values that is inherted
from the uninitialized area of the process structure.
This commit tries to close the race condition by grabbing proc
mutex *before* we release allproc_lock xlock, and do copy as
well as zero immediately after the allproc_lock xunlock. This
guarantees that the new process would have its p_copy and p_zero
sections, as well as user credential informaion initialized. In
getpriority() case, instead of grabbing PROC_LOCK for a PRS_NEW
process, we just skip the process in question, because it does
not affect the final result of the call, as the p_nice value
would be copied from its parent, and we will see it during
allproc traverse.
Other potential solutions are still under evaluation.

This renumbers VFS and UFS privileges, so requires rebuilding modules

This way we may support multiple structures in v_data vnode field within
one file system without using black magic.
Vnode-to-file-handle should be VOP in the first place, but was made VFS
operation to keep interface as compatible as possible with SUN's VFS.
BTW. Now Solaris also implements vnode-to-file-handle as VOP operation.
VFS_VPTOFH() was left for API backward compatibility, but is marked for

a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received.
The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).
In detail:
- reduce the amount of information exported to clients in struct firmware,
and constify the pointer;
- internally, document and simplify the implementation of the various
functions, and make sure error conditions are dealt with properly.
The diffs are large, but the code is really straightforward now (i hope).
Note also that there is a subtle issue with the implementation of
firmware_register(): currently, as in the previous version, we just
store a reference to the 'imagename' argument, but we should rather
copy it because there is no guarantee that this is a static string.
I realised this while testing this code, but i prefer to fix it in
a later commit -- there is no regression with respect to the past.
Note, too, that the version in RELENG_6 has various bugs including
missing locks around the module release calls, mishandling of modules
loaded by /boot/loader, and so on, so an MFC is absolutely necessary
there. I was just postponing it until this cleanup to avoid doing
things twice.

sonewconn() in unp_connect(). This avoids a race that occurs due to
v_socket being an uncounted reference, as the lock was being released in
order to call sonewconn(), which otherwise recurses into the UNIX domain
socket code via pru_attach, as well as holding the lock over a sleeping
memory allocation in uipc_attach(). Switch to a non-sleeping memory
allocation during UNIX domain socket attach.
This fix non-ideal in that it requires enabling recursion, but is a much
smaller change than moving to using true references for v_socket. The
reported panic occurs in unp_connect() following the return of
sonewconn().
