data (headers). Historically the size of the headers was not checked
against the socket buffer space. Application could easily overcommit the
socket buffer space.
With the new sendfile (r293439) the problem remained, but a KASSERT was
inserted that checked that amount of data written to the socket matches
its space. In case when size of headers is bigger that socket space,
KASSERT fires. Without INVARIANTS the new sendfile won't panic, but
would report incorrect amount of bytes sent.
o With this change, the headers copyin is moved down into the cycle, after
the sbspace() check. The uio size is trimmed by socket space there,
which fixes the overcommit problem and its consequences.
o The compatibility handling for FreeBSD 4 sendfile headers API is pushed
up the stack to syscall wrappers. This required a copy and paste of the
code, but in turn this allowed to remove extra stack carried parameter
from fo_sendfile_t, and embrace entire compat code into #ifdef. If in
future we got more fo_sendfile_t function, the copy and paste level would
even reduce.

The m_ext.ext_cnt pointer becomes a union. It can now hold the refcount
value itself. To tell that m_ext.ext_flags flag EXT_FLAG_EMBREF is used.
The first mbuf to attach a cluster stores the refcount. The further mbufs
to reference the cluster point at refcount in the first mbuf. The first
mbuf is freed only when the last reference is freed.
The benefit over refcounts stored in separate slabs is that now refcounts
of different, unrelated mbufs do not share a cache line.
For EXT_EXTREF mbufs the zone_ext_refcnt is no longer needed, and m_extadd()
becomes void, making widely used M_EXTADD macro safe.
For EXT_SFBUF mbufs the sf_ext_ref() is removed, which was an optimization
exactly against the cache aliasing problem with regular refcounting.
