Add preliminary support for atomic updates of per-page queue state.

Queue operations on a page use the page lock when updating the page to
reflect the desired queue state, and the page queue lock when physically
enqueuing or dequeuing a page.  Multiple pages share a given page lock,
but queue state is per-page; this false sharing results in heavy lock
contention.

Take a small step towards the use of atomic_cmpset to synchronize
updates to per-page queue state by introducing vm_page_pqstate_cmpset()
and using it in the page daemon.  In the longer term the plan is to stop
using the page lock to protect page identity and rely only on the object
and page busy locks.  However, since the page daemon avoids acquiring
the object lock except when necessary, some synchronization with a
concurrent free of the page is required.  vm_page_pqstate_cmpset() can
be used to ensure that queue state updates are successful only if the
page is not scheduled for a dequeue, which is sufficient for the page
daemon.

Add vm_page_swapqueue(), which moves a page from one queue to another
using vm_page_pqstate_cmpset().  Use it in the active queue scan, which
does not use the object lock.  Modify vm_page_dequeue_deferred() to
use vm_page_pqstate_cmpset() as well.
