Use sf_buf_alloc() instead of vm_map_find() on exec_map to create the

ephemeral mappings that are used as the source for three copy
operations from kernel space to user space.  There are two reasons for
making this change: (1) Under heavy load exec_map can fill up causing
vm_map_find() to fail.  When it fails, the nascent process is aborted
(SIGABRT).  Whereas, this reimplementation using sf_buf_alloc()
sleeps.  (2) Although it is possible to sleep on vm_map_find()'s
failure until address space becomes available (see kmem_alloc_wait()),
using sf_buf_alloc() is faster.  Furthermore, the reimplementation
uses a CPU private mapping, avoiding a TLB shootdown on
multiprocessors.
