Mostly it's conditional..
	if (p->p_flag & P_KSES) 
in syscall()
and 
	if (p->p_flag & P_KSES) {
in userret()

it's probably  
        PROC_LOCK(p);
        thread_suspend_check(0);        /* Can suspend or kill */
        PROC_UNLOCK(p);


try replace it with:
        if (P_SHOULDSTOP(p) {
                PROC_LOCK(p);
                thread_suspend_check(0);        /* Can suspend or kill */
                PROC_UNLOCK(p);
        }
