Summary

The KASSERT in chn_sleep() can be triggered if more than one thread
wants to sleep on a given channel at the same time. While this is not
really a common scenario, tools such as stress2, which use fork() and
the child process(es) inherit the parent's FDs as a result, we can end
up triggering such scenarios.

Fix this by removing CHN_F_SLEEPING altogether, which is not very useful
in the first place:

CHN_BROADCAST() checks cv_waiters already, so there is no need to check CHN_F_SLEEPING as well.
We can check whether cv_waiters is 0 in pcm_killchans(), instead of whether CHN_F_SLEEPING is not set.

@dougm @pho Could you please let me know if the panic persists with this patch?

I do net see any panics with D47559.146396.patch

Great. @markj what do you think?

357	In general we don't renumber flags into now-unused slots. You can instead just leave a comment here indicating that 0x00000020 was CHN_F_SLEEPING

Address Ed's comment.

223–224	Checking the waiters field directly like this is a bit of a layering violation, though the sound driver framework already does this. In fact, `cv_waiters == 0` implies there are no waiters, but the converse is not true: `cv_waiters != 0` does not imply that there are waiters. What happens if the code below is executed and there are no waiters? Is it harmless?

sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c
223–224	In order to get past this loop we'll have to eventually execute this check without waiters for all channels, so I'm pretty sure it's fine.

sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c
223–224	Ah sorry, you meant what happens if the lines below this check are executed. Still, nothing. `chn_shutdown()` calls `CHN_BROADCAST()` which also checks for `cv_waiters`, and the rest shouldn't concern the value of `cv_waiters` anyway.
