Periodic jobs triggering panics in 10.1 and 10.2

[Dustin Wenz]

I have multiple machines that have had occasional panics occur while the daily and weekly periodic scripts run. The panic is always "Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode". I've appended a kgdb trace below with more detail.

A notable common factor is that all affected systems have zfs-based startup disks, and 20-40 jails. Each jail has it's own filesystem that was created by cloning the boot filesystem. I suspect this is a zfs bug that is triggered by the access patterns in the periodic scripts. There is significant load on the system when the scheduled processes start, because all jails execute the same scripts at the same time.

I've been able to alleviate this problem by disabling the security scans within the jails, but leave it enabled on the root host. If this is not a known issue in FreeBSD 10.2, I'll file a PR on it.
