sysctl(9): add CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT flag
Add CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT flag (modelled after D_NEEDGIANT) that will be used to
mark sysctls that still require locking Giant.
Rewrite sysctl_handle_string() to use internal locking instead of locking
Giant.
Mark SYSCTL_STRING, SYSCTL_OPAQUE and their variants as MPSAFE.
Add infrastructure support for enforcing proper use of CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT
and CTLFLAG_MPSAFE flags with SYSCTL_PROC and SYSCTL_NODE, not enabled yet.
