In FreeBSD thread IDs and procedure IDs have distinct number
spaces. When asking for the group leader task ID in the LinuxKPI,
return the procedure ID and let this resolve to the first task in the
procedure having a valid LinuxKPI task structure pointer.

like open, close and fault using the character device pager.
Some notes about the implementation:
1) Linux drivers set the vm_ops and vm_private_data fields during a
mmap() call to indicate that the driver wants to use the LinuxKPI VM
operations. Else these operations are not used.
2) The vm_private_data pointer is associated with a VM area structure
and inserted into an internal LinuxKPI list. If the vm_private_data
pointer already exists, the existing VM area structure is used instead
of the allocated one which gets freed.
3) The LinuxKPI's vm_private_data pointer is used as the callback
handle for the FreeBSD VM object. The VM subsystem in FreeBSD has a
similar list to identify equal handles and will only call the
character device pager's close function once.
4) All LinuxKPI VM operations are serialized through the mmap_sem
sempaphore, which is per procedure, which prevents simultaneous access
to the shared VM area structure when receiving page faults.

structure to facilitate refcounting the task structure when returned
from get_pid_task(). The get_task_struct() and put_task_struct()
function is used to manage atomic refcounting. After this change the
task_struct should only be freed through put_task_struct().

Add support for using mutexes during KDB and shutdown. This is also
required for doing mode-switching during panic for drm-next.
Add new mutex functions mutex_init_witness() and mutex_destroy()
allowing LinuxKPI mutexes to be tracked by witness.
Declare mutex_is_locked() and mutex_is_owned() like inline functions
to get cleaner warnings. These functions are used inside WARN_ON()
statements which might look a bit odd if these functions get fully
expanded.
Give mutexes better debug names through the mutex_name() macro when
WITNESS_ALL is defined. The mutex_name() macro can prefix parts of the
filename and line number before the mutex name.

Move kmalloc_node() definition to slab.h where it belongs.

This change makes the workqueue implementation behave more like in
Linux, both functionality wise and structure wise.
All workqueue code has been moved to linux_work.c
Add an atomic based statemachine to the work_struct to ensure proper
operation. Prior to this change struct_work was directly mapped to a
FreeBSD task. When a taskqueue has multiple threads the same task may
end up being executed on more than one worker thread simultaneously.
This might cause problems with code coming from Linux, which expects
serial behaviour, similar to Linux tasklets.
Move all global workqueue function names into the linux_xxx domain to
avoid symbol name clashes in the future.
Implement a few more workqueue related functions and macros.
Create two multithreaded taskqueues for the LinuxKPI during module
load, one for time-consuming callbacks and one for non-time consuming
callbacks.

- Optimise the RCU implementation to not allocate and free
ck_epoch_records during runtime. Instead allocate two sets of
ck_epoch_records per CPU for general purpose use. The first set is
only used for reader locks and the second set is only used for
synchronization and barriers and is protected with a regular mutex to
prevent simultaneous issues.
- Move the task structure away from the rcu_head structure and into
the per-CPU structures. This allows the size of the rcu_head structure
to be reduced down to the size of two pointers.
- Fix a bug where the linux_rcu_barrier() function only waited for one
per-CPU epoch record to be completed instead of all.
- Use a critical section or a mutex to protect ck_epoch_begin() and
ck_epoch_end() depending on RCU or SRCU type. All the ck_epoch_xxx()
functions, except ck_epoch_register(), ck_epoch_unregister() and
ck_epoch_recycle() are not re-entrant and needs a critical section or
a mutex to operate in the LinuxKPI, after inspecting the CK
implementation of the above mentioned functions. The simultaneous
issues arise from per-CPU epoch records being shared between multiple
threads depending on the amount of taskswitching and how many threads
are involved with the RCU and SRCU operations.
- Properly free all epoch records by using safe list traversal at
LinuxKPI module unload. It turns out the ck_epoch_recycle() always
have the records on an internal list and use a flag in the epoch
record to track allocated and free entries. This would lead to use
after free during module unload.
- Remove redundant synchronize_rcu() call from the
linux_compat_uninit() function. Let the linux_rcu_runtime_uninit()
function do the final rcu_barrier() instead.

2) Make sure that the calling thread gets bound to the current CPU
