refcount(9) was recently extended to support waiting on a refcount to
drop to zero, as this was needed for a lockless VM object
paging-in-progress counter. However, this adds overhead to all uses of
refcount(9) and doesn't really match traditional refcounting semantics:
once a counter has dropped to zero, the protected object may be freed at
any point and it is not safe to dereference the counter.
This change removes that extension and instead adds a new set of KPIs,
blockcount_*, for use by VM object PIP and busy.

paging.
Shadow objects are marked with a COLLAPSING flag while they are collapsing with
their backing object. This gives us an explicit test rather than overloading
paging-in-progress. While split is on-going we mark an object with SPLIT.
These two operations will modify the swap tree so they must be serialized
and swap_pager_getpages() can now directly detect these conditions and page
more conservatively.
Callers to vm_object_collapse() now will reliably wait for a collapse to finish
so that the backing chain is as short as possible before other decisions are
made that may inflate the object chain. For example, split, coalesce, etc.
It is now safe to run fault concurrently with collapse. It is safe to increase
or decrease paging in progress with no lock so long as there is another valid
ref on increase.
This change makes collapse more reliable as a secondary benefit. The primary
benefit is making it safe to drop the object lock much earlier in fault or
never acquire it at all.
This was tested with a new shadow chain test script that uncovered long
standing bugs and will be integrated with stress2.

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.
