Modify sysctl_wire_old_buffer() to return an error if its call to

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

Modify sysctl_old_user to obey the wired buffer length and clean up

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

- crhold() returns a reference to the ucred whose refcount it bumps.
- crcopy() now simply copies the credentials from one credential to
another and has no return value.
- a new crshared() primitive is added which returns true if a ucred's
refcount is > 1 and false (0) otherwise.

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

If m_getm() receives NULL as a first argument, then it allocates `len'
(second argument) bytes worth of mbufs + clusters and returns the chain
only if it was able to allocate everything.
If the first argument is non-NULL, then it should be an existing mbuf
chain (e.g. pre-allocated mbuf sitting on a ring, on some list, etc.) and
so it will allocate `len' bytes worth of clusters and mbufs, as needed,
and append them to the tail of the passed in chain, only if it was able
to allocate everything requested.
If allocation fails, only what was allocated by the routine will be freed,
and NULL will be returned.
Also, get rid of existing m_getm() in netncp code and replace calls to it
to calls to this new generic code.

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.
