        src/sys/kern: kern_sysctl.c

Log Message:
Add a check to ensure that a new sysctl node was attached in the tree
at the place we expected it to be attached!

As mentioned several times (on tech-kern@ mailing list) over the past
18 months or so, I've seen a few instances where this will trigger,
although I've been unable to reproduce them.  Hopefully some wider
exposure will reveal the under-lying cause of this rare phenomenon.

Commit was proposed on tech-kern list, and no objections raised.
