Ktrace is evil and vile in this respect, so for now, don't use it. :) The fix
is to move all the actual ktrwrite() stuff off into a worker async thread.
I've done most of this (the ktrgenio needs some extra work still to properly
synchronize so events don't get out of order) however, I need to finish the
td_ucred stuff and then I can get back and finish it. It is next on the plate
after td_ucred is done.
