  Modified files:
    sys/kern             kern_sysctl.c 
  Log:
  In userland_sysctl(), call useracc() with the actual newlen value to be
  used, rather than the one passed via 'req', which may not reflect a
  rewrite.  This call to useracc() is redundant to validation performed by
  later copyin()/copyout() calls, so there isn't a security issue here,
  but this could technically lead to excessive validation of addresses if
  the length in newlen is shorter than req.newlen.
