Alan Cox 56e66ce802 Ordinarily, during a superpage promotion or demotion within a pmap, the
pmap's lock ensures that other operations on the pmap don't observe the
old mapping being broken before the new mapping is established.  However,
pmap_kextract() doesn't acquire the kernel pmap's lock, so it may observe
the broken mapping.  And, if it does, it returns an incorrect result.

This revision implements a lock-free solution to this problem in
pmap_update_entry() and pmap_kextract() because pmap_kextract() can't
acquire the kernel pmap's lock.
