Fix null-pointer dereference crash when the system is intentionally
run out of KVM through a mmap()/fork() bomb that allocates hundreds of thousands of vm_map_entry structures. Add panic to make null-pointer dereference crash a little more verbose. Add a new sysctl, vm.max_proc_mmap, which specifies the maximum number of mmap()'d spaces (discrete vm_map_entry's in the process). The value defaults to around 9000 for a 128MB machine. The test is scaled for the number of processes sharing a vmspace (aka linux threads). Setting the value to 0 disables the feature. PR: kern/16573 Approved by: jkh
