The function request_cleanup() had a tsleep() with PCATCH. It is

quite dangerous, since the process may hold locks at the point,
and if it is stopped in that tsleep the machine may hang. Because
the sleep is so short, the PCATCH is not required here, so it has
been removed. For the future, the FreeBSD team needs to decide
whether it is still reasonable to stop a process in tsleep, as that
may affect any other code that uses PCATCH while holding kernel locks.
