RFR: 8255414: Ensure OS functions always report to NMT

Hi,

This PR attempts to enforce the convention that:

1. Public `os` functions report to NMT
2. `pd_` prefixed functions do not report to NMT
3. Public `os` functions call into `pd_`-prefixed functions to do the actual work.

This is a convention that has been only partially enforced, leading to some difficulties. For example, it's easy for double-accounting to NMT can occur if it's not clear what the `pd_`-prefixed functions do and do not do.
