Summary

The kernel_pmap lock is a bit special: it does not need the DUPOK flag,
and it really belongs to a different lock class. If it belongs to the
same class as regular pmap locks, than witness may report warnings when
performing UMA allocations under a regular pmap lock, if the allocation
triggers a pmap_growkernel() call.

Replace instances of PMAP_LOCK_INIT(kernel_pmap) with inline mtx_init()
calls to silence some witness warnings I see with some uncommitted test
programs.
