I found and fixed a few whitespace nits and a minor buglet that didn't
affect functionality.  This patch has passed all of my testing, so I
committed it to HEAD to give it wider exposure.

  Modified files:
    sys/kern             kern_proc.c 
  Log:
  Always wire the sysctl output buffer in sysctl_kern_proc() before
  calling sysctl_out_proc().  -- fix from jhb
  
  Move the code in fill_kinfo_thread() that gathers data from struct proc
  into the new function fill_kinfo_proc_only().
  
  Change all callers of fill_kinfo_thread() to call both
  fill_kinfo_proc_only() and fill_kinfo() thread.  When gathering
  data from a multi-threaded process, fill_kinfo_proc_only() only needs
  to be called once.
  
  Grab sched_lock before accessing the process thread list or calling
  fill_kinfo_thread().
