Simplified sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) usage. Starting with FreeBSD 11, there is no need to use AIO operations to preload data into cache for sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) to work. Instead, sendfile() handles non-blocking loading data from disk by itself. It still can, however, return EBUSY if a page is already being loaded (for example, by a different process). If this happens, we now post an event for the next event loop iteration, so sendfile() is retried "after a short period", as manpage recommends. The limit of the number of EBUSY tolerated without any progress is preserved, but now it does not result in an alert, since on an idle system event loop iteration might be very short and EBUSY can happen many times in a row. Instead, SF_NODISKIO is simply disabled for one call once the limit is reached. With this change, sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) is now used automatically as long as sendfile() is enabled, and no longer requires "aio on;".

/*
 * All modern pthread mutex implementations try to acquire a lock
 * atomically in userland before going to sleep in kernel.  Some
 * spins before the sleeping.
 *
 * In Solaris since version 8 all mutex types spin before sleeping.
 * The default spin count is 1000.  It can be overridden using
 * _THREAD_ADAPTIVE_SPIN=100 environment variable.
 *
 * In MacOSX all mutex types spin to acquire a lock protecting a mutex's
 * internals.  If the mutex is busy, thread calls Mach semaphore_wait().
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL lacks deadlock detection and is the fastest
 * mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP
 *             remains from the times when pthread_mutex_timedlock() was
 *             non-standard extension.  Alias name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is usually as fast as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 * yet has lightweight deadlock detection.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE allows recursive locking.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP spins on SMP systems before sleeping.
 *
 *   Linux:    No deadlock detection.  Dynamically changes a spin count
 *             for each mutex from 10 to 100 based on spin count taken
 *             previously.
 *   FreeBSD:  Deadlock detection.  The default spin count is 2000.
 *             It can be overridden using LIBPTHREAD_SPINLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setspinloops_np().  If a lock
 *             is still busy, sched_yield() can be called on both UP and
 *             SMP systems.  The default yield loop count is zero, but
 *             it can be set by LIBPTHREAD_YIELDLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setyieldloops_np().
 *   Solaris:  No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *   MacOSX:   No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP is a Linux extension to elide locks using
 * Intel Restricted Transactional Memory.  It is the most suitable for
 * rwlock pattern access because it allows simultaneous reads without lock.
 * Supported since glibc 2.18.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is default mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   FreeBSD:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
 *   Solaris:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   MacOSX:   PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
