Note: The DIOCGSECTORSIZE and DIOCGMEDIASIZE handlers withing
fdioctl() couldn't be just moved to below the existing check
for blocking mode because fd->ft can be non-NULL while still
in non-blocking mode (fd->ft can be set with the FD_STYPE ioctl.)

Remove a reference to the defunct macro M_COPY_PKTHDR;

- tagging plaintext "mbuf", "mbuf cluster", and "mbuf chain"
with .Vt (variable type) since all of them are ways of managing

- using .Vt/.Va instead of .Li (literal) where appropriate;
- tagging plaintext words that actually refer to function arguments
with .Fa.

properly, clean up quota(1). quota(1) has the ability to query
quotas either directly from the kernel, or if that fails, by reading
the quota.user or quota.group files specified for the file system
in /etc/fstab. The setuid bit existed solely (apparently) to let
non-operator users query their quotas and consumption when quotas
weren't enabled for the file system.
o Remove the setuid bit from quota(1).
o Remove the logic used by quota(1) when running setuid to prevent
users from querying the quotas of other users or groups. Note
that this papered over previously broken kernel access control;
if you queried directly using the system call, you could access
some of the data "restricted" by quota(1).
In the new world order, the ability to inspect the (live) quotas of
other uids and gids via the kernel is controlled by the privilege
requirement sysctl. The ability to query via the file is controlled
by the file permissions on the quota database backing files
(root:operator, group readable by default).

UFS quota implementation. Push some quite broken access control
logic out of ufs_quotactl() into the individual command

o quotaon() requires privilege (PRISON_ROOT).
o quotaoff() requires privilege (PRISON_ROOT).
o getquota() requires that:
If the type is USRQUOTA, either the effective uid match the
requested quota ID, that the unprivileged_get_quota flag be
set, or that the thread be privileged (PRISON_ROOT).
If the type is GRPQUOTA, require that either the thread be
a member of the group represented by the requested quota ID,
that the unprivileged_get_quota flag be set, or that the
thread be privileged (PRISON_ROOT).
o setquota() requires privilege (PRISON_ROOT).
o setuse() requires privilege (PRISON_ROOT).
o qsync() requires no special privilege (consistent with what
was present before, but probably not very useful).
Add a new sysctl, security.bsd.unprivileged_get_quota, which when
set to a non-zero value, will permit unprivileged users to query user
quotas with non-matching uids and gids. Set this to 0 by default
to be mostly consistent with the previous behavior (the same for
USRQUOTA, but not for GRPQUOTA).

(1) Reject zero-length strings for CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG,
_ULONG. Do not silently convert to 0.
(2) When converting CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG, and _ULONG, check the
end pointer generated by strtol() and strtoul() rather than
discarding it. Reject the string if either none of the string
was useful for conversion to an integer, or if there was
trailing garbage.
I.e., we will not allow you to set a numeric sysctl to a value unless
we can completely convert the string argument to a numeric value.

- Slightly redo the interactivity scorer. It follows the same algorithm but
in a slightly more correct way. Previously values above half were
incorrect.
- Lower the interactivity threshold to 20. It seems that in testing non-
interactive tasks are hardly ever near there and expensive interactive
tasks can sometimes surpass it. This area needs more testing.
- Remove an unnecessary KTR.
- Fix a case where an idle thread that had an elevated priority due to
priority prop. would be placed back on the idle queue.
- Delay setting NEEDRESCHED until userret() for threads that haad their
priority elevated while in kernel. This gives us the same context switch
optimization as SCHED_4BSD.
- Limit the child's slice to 1 in sched_fork_kse() so we detect its behavior

- Inhert some of the run/slp time from the child in sched_exit_ksegrp().
