In the current code, the locking is completely broken and may lead
easilly to deadlocks. Fix it by using the proc_mtx, linked to the
suspending thread, as lock for the operation. Keep using the
thread_lock for setting and reading the flag even if it is not entirely
necessary (atomic ops may do it as well, but this way the code is more
readable).
- Fix a deadlock within kthread_suspend().
The suspender should not sleep on a different channel wrt the suspended
thread, or, otherwise, the awaker should wakeup both. Uniform the
interface to what the kproc_* counterparts do (sleeping on the same
channel).
- Change the kthread_suspend_check() prototype.
kthread_suspend_check() always assumes curthread and must only refer to
it, so skip the thread pointer as it may be easilly mistaken.
If curthread is not a kthread, the system will panic.

While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is
reported in this 17 months old presentation e-mail:

In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq
rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

wlan(4) interfaces. vlan(4) interfaces are listed via a new 'vlans_<IF>'
variable. If a vlan interface is a number, then that number is treated as
the vlan tag for the interface and the interface will be named '<IF>.<tag>'.
Otherwise, the vlan tag must be provided via a vlan parameter in a
'create_args_<vlan>' variable.
While I'm here, fix a few nits in rc.conf(5) and mention create_args_<IF> in
the description of cloned_interfaces.
