- Store the symbol table contents in an anonymous swap-backed object. Have
mmap(/dev/ksyms) map that object, and stop mapping the symbol table into
the calling process in ksyms_open(). Previously we would cache a pointer
to the pmap of the opening process, and mmap(/dev/ksyms) would create a
mapping using the physical address found by a pmap lookup at the initial
mapping address. However, this assumes that the cached pmap is valid,
which may not be the case. [1]
- Remove the ksyms ioctl interface. It appears to have been added to work
around a limitation in libelf that no longer exists; see r321842.
Moreover, the interface is difficult to support and isn't present in
illumos. Since ksyms was added specifically to support lockstat(1), it
is expected that this removal won't have any real impact.
- Simplify ksyms_read() to avoid unnecessary copying.
- Don't call the device handle destructor if we fail to capture a snapshot
of the kernel's symbol table. devfs will do that for us.

Previously, lockstat(1) would use a lock's address as its identifier when
consuming data describing lock contention and hold events. After collecting
the requested data, it would use ksyms(4) to resolve lock addresses to
names. Of course, this doesn't work too well for locks contained in
dynamically-allocated memory. This change modifies lockstat(1) to trace the
lock names obtained from the base struct lock_object instead, leading to
output that is generally much more useful.
This change also removes the -c option, which is used to coalesce data for
locks in an array. It's not possible to support this option without also
tracing lock addresses, and since lock arrays in which the lock names are
distinct are not very common in FreeBSD, it's simpler to just remove the
option.

0. For spin events report time spent spinning, not a loop count.
While loop count is much easier and cheaper to obtain it is hard
to reason about the reported numbers, espcially for adaptive locks
where both spinning and sleeping can happen.
So, it's better to compare apples and apples.
1. Teach lockstat about FreeBSD rw locks.
This is done in part by changing the corresponding probes
and in part by changing what probes lockstat should expect.
2. Teach lockstat that rw locks are adaptive and can spin on FreeBSD.
3. Report lock acquisition events for successful rw try-lock operations.
4. Teach lockstat about FreeBSD sx locks.
Reporting of events for those locks completely mirrors
rw locks.
5. Report spin and block events before acquisition event.
This is behavior documented for the upstream, so it makes sense to stick
to it. Note that because of FreeBSD adaptive lock implementations
both the spin and block events may be reported for the same acquisition
while the upstream reports only one of them.

Since the upstream for cddl code is now illumos not sun, mechanically
convert all sun #ifdef's to illumos #ifdef's which have been used in all
newer code for some time.
Also do a manual pass to correct the use if #ifdef comments as per style(9)
as well as few uses of #if defined(__FreeBSD__) vs #ifndef illumos.

installed. Additionally, remove Solaris-specific sections and references,
and replace example outputs with output from lockstat on FreeBSD, since
lockstat's output contains stack traces.
This change also removes some examples that don't seem to work properly on
FreeBSD. The examples should be re-added when lockstat is fixed.
