    This change is some refactoring of Mark Johnston's changes in r329375 · efbf3964
    Kirk McKusick authored
    to fix the memory leak that I introduced in r328426. Instead of
    trying to clear up the possible memory leak in all the clients, I
    ensure that it gets cleaned up in the source (e.g., ffs_sbget ensures
    that memory is always freed if it returns an error).
    
    The original change in r328426 was a bit sparse in its description.
    So I am expanding on its description here (thanks cem@ and rgrimes@
    for your encouragement for my longer commit messages).
    
    In preparation for adding check hashing to superblocks, r328426 is
    a refactoring of the code to get the reading/writing of the superblock
    into one place. Unlike the cylinder group reading/writing which
    ends up in two places (ffs_getcg/ffs_geom_strategy in the kernel
    and cgget/cgput in libufs), I have the core superblock functions
    just in the kernel (ffs_sbfetch/ffs_sbput in ffs_subr.c which is
    already imported into utilities like fsck_ffs as well as libufs to
    implement sbget/sbput). The ffs_sbfetch and ffs_sbput functions
    take a function pointer to do the actual I/O for which there are
    four variants:
    
        ffs_use_bread / ffs_use_bwrite for the in-kernel filesystem
    
        g_use_g_read_data / g_use_g_write_data for kernel geom clients
    
        ufs_use_sa_read for the standalone code (stand/libsa/ufs.c
    	but not stand/libsa/ufsread.c which is size constrained)
    
        use_pread / use_pwrite for libufs
    
    Uses of these interfaces are in the UFS filesystem, geoms journal &
    label, libsa changes, and libufs. They also permeate out into the
    filesystem utilities fsck_ffs, newfs, growfs, clri, dump, quotacheck,
    fsirand, fstyp, and quot. Some of these utilities should probably be
    converted to directly use libufs (like dumpfs was for example), but
    there does not seem to be much win in doing so.
