Log message:
Prefer 'without KERNEL_LOCK' as 'unlocking' for system calls.

Most (all?) the systems calls do run with locks, the 'NOLOCK' keyword used
by kern/syscall.master and the 'unlocking' expression can be misleading.

The ioctl(2) syscall is still mostly run under KERNEL_LOCK, even if an entry
is marked as 'NOLOCK' in kern/syscall.master it doesn't mean it is free from
it.  In this case, like for read(2) and write(2) the KERNEL_LOCK is taken at
the `fileops' layer (vn_ioctl(), vn_read(), etc).

Remove unrelated refactoring.
