VM: improve pageout deadlock workaround
Commit 5dd4f67522ad0d49a2cecdb9b109251f546d4dd1 makes VM map entry allocation done with VM privilege, so that a VM map isn't held locked while physical allocations are paused, which may block the default pager during page eviction, causing a system-wide deadlock. First, it turns out that map entries aren't the only buffers allocated, and second, their number can't be easily determined, which makes a preallocation strategy very hard to implement. This change generalizes the strategy of VM privilege increase when a VM map is locked. * device/ds_routines.c (io_done_thread): Use integer values instead of booleans when setting VM privilege. * kern/thread.c (thread_init, thread_wire): Likewise. * vm/vm_pageout.c (vm_pageout): Likewise. * kern/thread.h (struct thread): Turn member `vm_privilege' into an unsigned integer. * vm/vm_map.c (vm_map_lock): New function, where VM privilege is temporarily increased. (vm_map_unlock): New function, where VM privilege is decreased. (_vm_map_entry_create): Remove VM privilege workaround from this function. * vm/vm_map.h (vm_map_lock, vm_map_unlock): Turn into functions.
