kenv: avoid sleepable alloc for integer tunables

Description

kenv: avoid sleepable alloc for integer tunables

Avoid performing a potentially-blocking malloc for kenv lookups that will only
perform non-destructive integer conversions on the returned buffer. Instead,
perform the strtoq() in-place with the kenv lock held.

While here, factor the logic around kenv_lock acquire and release into
kenv_acquire() and kenv_release(), and use these functions for some light
cleanup. Collapse getenv_string_buffer() into kern_getenv(), as the former
no longer has any other callers and the only additional task performed by
the latter is a WITNESS check that hasn't been useful since r362231.
