correct the calculation of ki_childtime. That will correct the value

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
Add two new functions: ttyref() and ttyrel(). ttymalloc() creates a struct
tty with a reference count of one. when ttyrel sees the count go to zero,
struct tty is freed.
Hold references for open ttys and for ttys which are controlling terminal
for sessions.
Until drivers start using ttyrel(), this commit will make no difference.
KERN_PROC_SESSION option which had been previously defined but

not quite well by me - if kern.ps_argsopen was set to 0, users weren't
permitted to see arguments of even own processes.
But kern.ps_argsopen is going away, so just remove this check and leave
security checks for p_cansee() function.
Without this fix it is possible to cheat policies like:
- sysctl security.bsd.see_other_[gu]ids=0,
- mac_seeotheruids(4),
- jail(2)
and get full processes list with their arguments.
This problem exists from revision 1.62 of kern_proc.c when it was
introduced.

It is recommended that sysctl handlers that use sysctl_wire_old_buffer()
should specify reasonable estimates for the amount of data they
want to return so that only the minimum amount of memory is wired
no matter what length has been specified by the request.
Modify the callers of sysctl_wire_old_buffer() to look for the
error return.
Modify sysctl_old_user to obey the wired buffer length and clean up

processes forked with RFTHREAD.
- Use a goto to a label for common code when exiting from fork1() in case
of an error.
- Move the RFTHREAD linkage setup code later in fork since the ppeers_lock
cannot be locked while holding a proc lock. Handle the race of a task
leader exiting and killing its peers while a peer is forking a new child.
In that case, go ahead and let the peer process proceed normally as the
parent is about to kill it. However, the task leader may have already
gone to sleep to wait for the peers to die, so the new child process may
not receive a SIGKILL from the task leader. Rather than try to destruct
the new child process, just go ahead and send it a SIGKILL directly and
add it to the p_peers list. This ensures that the task leader will wait
until both the peer process doing the fork() and the new child process
have received their KILL signals and exited.

in specific situations. The owner thread must be blocked, and the
borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.
Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock
the scheduler when we want to access it, as it's now "at hand".
DDB now shows a lot mor info for threaded proceses though it may need

Upcalls are now "bound" threads, but "KSE Lending" now means that
other completing syscalls can be completed using that KSE before the upcall
finally makes it back to the UTS. (getting threads OUT OF THE KERNEL is
one of the highest priorities in the KSE system.) The upcall when it happens
will present all the completed syscalls to the KSE for selection.
