rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.
The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).
Several syscalls, among them is fork(2), may now return ENOMEM when
global or per-uid limits are enforced.

The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,

vm_object_terminate() on a device-backed object at the same time that
another processor, call it Pa, is performing dev_pager_alloc() on the
same device. The problem is that vm_pager_object_lookup() should not be
allowed to return a doomed object, i.e., an object with OBJ_DEAD set,
but it does. In detail, the unfortunate sequence of events is: Pt in
vm_object_terminate() holds the doomed object's lock and sets OBJ_DEAD
on the object. Pa in dev_pager_alloc() holds dev_pager_sx and calls
vm_pager_object_lookup(), which returns the doomed object. Next, Pa
calls vm_object_reference(), which requires the doomed object's lock, so
Pa waits for Pt to release the doomed object's lock. Pt proceeds to the
point in vm_object_terminate() where it releases the doomed object's
lock. Pa is now able to complete vm_object_reference() because it can
now complete the acquisition of the doomed object's lock. So, now the
doomed object has a reference count of one! Pa releases dev_pager_sx
and returns the doomed object from dev_pager_alloc(). Pt now acquires
dev_pager_mtx, removes the doomed object from dev_pager_object_list,
releases dev_pager_mtx, and finally calls uma_zfree with the doomed
object. However, the doomed object is still in use by Pa.
Repeating my key point, vm_pager_object_lookup() must not return a
doomed object. Moreover, the test for the object's state, i.e.,
doomed or not, and the increment of the object's reference count
should be carried out atomically.

make the b_iodone callback responsible for setting it if it is needed.
Previously, it was set unconditionally by bufdone() without holding
whichever lock is shared by the b_iodone callback and the corresponding
top-half function. Consequently, in a race, the top-half function could
conclude that operation was done before the b_iodone callback finished.
See, for example, aio_physwakeup() and aio_fphysio().
Note: I don't believe that the other, more widely-used b_iodone callbacks
are affected.

swapoff: failed to locate %d swap blocks
The race occurred because putpages() can block between the time it
allocates swap space and the time it updates the swap metadata to
associate that space with a vm_object, so swapoff() would complain
about the temporary inconsistency. I hoped to fix this by making
swp_pager_getswapspace() and swp_pager_meta_build() a single atomic
operation, but that proved to be inconvenient. With this change,
swapoff() simply doesn't attempt to be so clever about detecting when
all the pageout activity to the target device should have drained.
In order to avoid livelock, swapoff() skips over objects with a
nonzero pip count and makes another pass if necessary. Since it is
impossible to know which objects we care about, it would choose an
arbitrary object with a nonzero pip count and wait for it before
making another pass, the theory being that this object would finish
paging about as quickly as the ones we care about. Unfortunately,
we may have slept since we acquired a reference to this object.
Hack around this problem by tsleep()ing on the pointer anyway, but
timeout after a fixed interval. More elegant solutions are possible,
but the ones I considered unnecessarily complicate this rare case.
Also, kill some nits that seem to have crept into the swapoff() code
in the last 75 revisions or so:
- Don't pass both sp and sp->sw_used to swap_pager_swapoff(), since
the latter can be derived from the former.
- Replace swp_pager_find_dev() with something simpler. There's no
need to iterate over the entire list of swap devices just to determine
if a given block is assigned to the one we're interested in.
- Expand the scope of the swhash_mtx in a couple of places so that it
isn't released and reacquired once for every hash bucket.
- Don't drop the swhash_mtx while holding a reference to an object.
We need to lock the object first. Unfortunately, doing so would
violate the established lock order, so use VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() and
try again on a subsequent pass if the object is already locked.
- Refactor swp_pager_force_pagein() and swap_pager_swapoff() a bit.
