 Yep this fixed the fact that p_ucred is null.
 Now the fact that p_sigacts is null is causing the panic. Need=20
 to place the setting of p_sigacts ahead of adding p2 to the proclist.
 This also means placing the malloc of p_sigacts ahead of the
 proclist which goes inside the "protected section".
 Once both the p_ucred and p_sigacts fixes were done, the
 reboot script was able to run for 20 hours without a panic.
 I stopped the testing at 20 hours.
 The script was able to reboot the system once every 3 minutes.
