Different consumers of the struct vm_page abuse pageq member to keep

additional information, when the page is guaranteed to not belong to a
paging queue.  Usually, this results in a lot of type casts which make
reasoning about the code correctness harder.

Sometimes m->object is used instead of pageq, which could cause real
and confusing bugs if non-NULL m->object is leaked.  See r141955 and
r253140 for examples.

Change the pageq member into a union containing explicitly-typed
members.  Use them instead of type-punning or abusing m->object in x86
pmaps, uma and vm_page_alloc_contig().
