        src/sys/uvm: uvm_page.c uvm_pgflcache.c

Log Message:
In the current code, CPU_COUNT_FREEPAGES counts pages in the global
freelists AND the per-CPU pgflcache free pages caches, and that is the
number of pages that the pagedaemon considers to be available.
However, most pages in the pgflcache per-CPU free page caches are NOT
actually available for any particular allocation, and thus allocating
a page can fail even though the pagedaemon thinks enough pages are
available.  This change makes CPU_COUNT_FREEPAGES only count pages in
the global freelists and not pages in the pgflcache per-CPU free page
caches, thus better aligning the pagedaemon's view of how many pages
are available with the number of pages that can actually be allocated
by any particular request.  This fixes a hang that Christos was hitting.
