Allow threads to atomically release rw and sx locks while waiting for an event. Locking primitives that support this (mtx, rw, and sx) now each include their own foo_sleep() routine. - Rename msleep() to _sleep() and change it's 'struct mtx' object to a 'struct lock_object' pointer. _sleep() uses the recently added lc_unlock() and lc_lock() function pointers for the lock class of the specified lock to release the lock while the thread is suspended. - Add wrappers around _sleep() for mutexes (mtx_sleep()), rw locks (rw_sleep()), and sx locks (sx_sleep()). msleep() still exists and is now identical to mtx_sleep(), but it is deprecated. - Rename SLEEPQ_MSLEEP to SLEEPQ_SLEEP. - Rewrite much of sleep.9 to not be msleep(9) centric. - Flesh out the 'RETURN VALUES' section in sleep.9 and add an 'ERRORS' section. - Add __nonnull(1) to _sleep() and msleep_spin() so that the compiler will warn if you try to pass a NULL wait channel. The functions already have a KASSERT to that effect.
