Reduce contention on fstrans_lock



Over the course of a long job with lots of forks like build.sh, small but
frequent contention on fstrans_lock can start to add up.  This cures it by
maintaining the global list of fstrans_lwp_info in a pool cache constructor
and destructor, much the same pattern as is done for struct file and struct
vm_amap.

fstrans_mount_lock is taken in the same path but less work is done with that
lock held, so it doesn't really show up in the profile for me.

Any comments?

Thanks,
Andrew
