splsoftclock() has always had spllower() semantics, and its main users
(kern_clock.c and kern_time.c) depend on this.
FreeBSD has a precedent of not changing poor spl names because the change
would be confusing: splnet() should be named splsoftnet() and splimp()
should be named splnet() as in NetBSD.
