I noticed I couldn't use pstat to print the value of a static variable
in the kernel.  After some debugging I found that the nlist(3) lookup
of the variable has only the N_EXT bit set in n_type.  That makes no
sense, as N_EXT is supposed to mark global variables.  To add insult
to injury, it doesn't just set to N_EXT bit, it actually overwrites
the type.

Diff below fixes this and matches what NetBSD does.

ok?
