markj 039f74039e Merge the vm_page hold and wire mechanisms.
The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics.  The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.

This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead.  Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change
we remove a number of page lock acquisitions.

No functional change is intended.  __FreeBSD_version is bumped.
