The problem is that NetBSD had apparently forgotten its heritage in 3.x,
but has remembered it again in 4.0 and now pre-#define's __unix__ as it
should. This leads to the BSD4_4 #define getting pulled in from
<sys/param.h> and subsequently the #include <vm/vm_param.h> breaking the
compile, since there is no /usr/include/vm directory on NetBSD.

Below is a very minimal fix that allows the compile to succeed on NetBSD
4.0 - I don't think anyone will construe it as a commitment from the OTP
group to support os_mon on NetBSD, in particular since any attempt to
actually use it will just result in
{error,{unsupported_os,{unix,netbsd}}} - but it's annoying to have the
default build break because of this.
