VFS: fix dead lock

Browse source 
When running out of worker threads to handle device replies a dead
lock resolver thread is used. However, it was only used for FS
endpoints; it is now used for "system processes" (drivers and FS
endpoints). Also, drivers were marked as system process when they
were not "forced" to map (i.e., mapping was done before endpoint was
alive).
