  MFC:  Move dynamic sysctl(8) variable creation for the cd(4) and da(4)
  drivers out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt
  context.

  This code is necessarily a little bit different than the version committed
  to -current, mainly in the area of mutexes.  (Which become splfoo() in
  -stable.)
  
  The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK), which causes problems
  if malloc(9) actually needs to sleep.  (And causes a panic for people
  running with INVARIANTS turned on.)
  
  The eventual fix for this issue will involve moving the CAM probe process
  inside a kernel thread.  For now, though, I have fixed the issue by moving
  dynamic sysctl variable creation for these two drivers to a task queue
  running in a kernel thread.
  
  The existing task queue in -stable (taskqueue_swi) runs in software interrupt
  handlers, which wouldn't fix the problem at hand.  So I have created a new
  task queue, taskqueue_thread, that runs inside a kernel thread.
  
  scsi_cd.c:      Remove sysctl variable creation code from cdregister(), and
                  move it to a new function, cdsysctlinit().  Queue
                  cdsysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once we
                  have fully registered the cd(4) driver instance.
  
  scsi_da.c:      Remove sysctl variable creation code from daregister(), and
                  move it to move it to a new function, dasysctlinit().
                  Queue dasysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once
                  we have fully registered the da(4) instance.
  
  taskqueue.h:    Declare the new taskqueue_thread taskqueue, update some
                  comments.
  
  subr_taskqueue.c:
                  Create the new kernel thread taskqueue.
  
  cd.4:           Update the cd(4) man page to talk about the minimum command
                  size sysctl/loader tunable.  Also note that the changer
                  variables are available as loader tunables as well.
  
  da.4:           Update the da(4) man page to cover the retry_count,
                  default_timeout and minimum_cmd_size sysctl variables/loader
                  tunables.  Remove references to /dev/r???, they aren't used
                  any longer.
  
  cd.9:           Update the cd(9) man page to describe the CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
                  quirk.
