MFC Alexander Motin's GEOM direct dispatch work:

r256603:
Introduce new function devstat_end_transaction_bio_bt(), adding new argument
to specify present time. Use this function to move binuptime() out of lock,
substantially reducing lock congestion when slow timecounter is used.

r256606:
Move g_io_deliver() out of the lock, as required for direct dispatch.
Move g_destroy_bio() out too to reduce lock scope even more.

r256607:
Fix passing uninitialized bio_resid argument to g_trace().

r256610:
Add unmapped I/O support to GEOM RAID.

r256830:
Restore BIO_UNMAPPED and BIO_TRANSIENT_MAPPING in biodonne() when unmapping
temporary mapped buffer. That fixes double unmap if biodone() called twice
for the same BIO (but with different done methods).

r256880:
Merge GEOM direct dispatch changes from the projects/camlock branch.

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.

r259247:
Fix bug introduced at r256607. We have to recalculate bp_resid here since
sizes of original and completed requests may differ due to end of media.

Testing of the stable/10 merge was done by Netflix, but all of the credit
goes to Alexander and iX Systems.

MFprojects/camlock r254895:
Add unmapped BIO support to GEOM ZERO if kern.geom.zero.clear is cleared.

Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

In g_zero_destroy_geom(), return 0 instead of EBUSY in the success case.
EBUSY was probably used as a workaround for the deadlock fixed in r207671.

- Allow to specify the byte which will be used for filling read buffer.
- Improve sysctl description a bit.

Add a very simple and small GEOM class - ZERO.
It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
BIO_READ.

I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.
