Request for MFC r215299: Echoing asterisks for GELI passphrase

Greetings,

Could someone please MFC r215299?  This commit enhances a workaround
for a long-standing bug (kern/105368) and is pretty much required for
any production system affected by the bug.  (Without the patch, anyone
that can run dmesg can see the passphrase entered for the root
filesystem. ;_;)

Regards,
Eugene Kim
