The option "nonc" disables using of namecache for the created mount,
by default namecache is used. The rationale for the option is that
namecache duplicates the information which is already kept in memory
by tmpfs. Since it believed that namecache scales better than tmpfs,
or will scale better, do not enable the option by default. On the
other hand, smaller machines may benefit from lesser namecache
pressure.

For directories, node->tn_spec.tn_dir.tn_parent pointer to the parent
is used. For non-directories, the implementation is naive, all
directory nodes are scanned to find a dirent linking the specified
node. This can be significantly improved by maintaining tn_parent for
all nodes, later.

On dotdot lookup and fhtovp operations, it is possible for the file
represented by tmpfs node to be removed after the thread calculated
the pointer. In this case, tmpfs_alloc_vp() accesses freed memory.
Introduce the reference count on the nodes. The allnodes list from
tmpfs mount owns 1 reference, and threads performing unlocked
operations on the node, add one transient reference. Similarly, since
struct tmpfs_mount maintains the list where nodes are enlisted,
refcount it by one reference from struct mount and one reference from
each node on the list. Both nodes and tmpfs_mounts are removed when
refcount goes to zero.
Note that this means that nodes and tmpfs_mounts might survive some
time after the node is deleted or tmpfs_unmount() finished. The
tmpfs_alloc_vp() in these cases returns error either due to node
removal (tn_nlinks == 0) or because of insmntque1(9) error.

E.g., tar archive extraction is not usually followed by access to many

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

We cannot busy a page before doing pagefaults.
Infact, it can deadlock against vnode lock, as it tries to vget().
Other functions, right now, have an opposite lock ordering, like
vm_object_sync(), which acquires the vnode lock first and then
sleeps on the busy mechanism.
Before this patch is reinserted we need to break this ordering.

- It bloats the active/inactive queues of few pages
Try to avoid it as much as possible with the long-term target to
completely remove it.
Use the soft-busy mechanism to protect page content accesses during
short-term operations (like uiomove_fromphys()).
After this change only vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() is still using the
hold mechanism for page content access.
There is an additional complexity there as the quick path cannot
immediately access the page object to busy the page and the slow path
cannot however busy more than one page a time (to avoid deadlocks).
Fixing such primitive can bring to complete removal of the page hold
mechanism.

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() functions:
- tmpfs_mapped{read, write}() are only called within VOP_{READ, WRITE}(),

vnode is locked for the duration of the work, making vnode reclaiming
impossible, during the operation. Hence, vobj can never be NULL.
- Currently check on resident pages and cached pages without vm object
lock held is racy and can do even more harm than good, as a page could
be transitioning between these 2 pools and then be skipped entirely.
Skip the checks as lookups on empty splay trees are very cheap.
