Merge from projects/counters: UMA_ZONE_PCPU zones.

Description

Merge from projects/counters: UMA_ZONE_PCPU zones.

These zones have slab size == sizeof(struct pcpu), but request from VM

enough pages to fit (uk_slabsize * mp_ncpus). An item allocated from such
zone would have a separate twin for each CPU in the system, and these twins
are at a distance of sizeof(struct pcpu) from each other. This magic value
of distance would allow us to make some optimizations later.

To address private item from a CPU simple arithmetics should be used:

item = (type *)((char *)base + sizeof(struct pcpu) * curcpu)

These arithmetics are available as zpcpu_get() macro in pcpu.h.

To introduce non-page size slabs a new field had been added to uma_keg

uk_slabsize. This shifted some frequently used fields of uma_keg to the
fourth cache line on amd64. To mitigate this pessimization, uma_keg fields
were a bit rearranged and least frequently used uk_name and uk_link moved
down to the fourth cache line. All other fields, that are dereferenced
frequently fit into first three cache lines.
