- Remove an incorrect assertion that can trigger when downing an interface.
- Stop the interface during detach to avoid panics when unloading the
driver.
- A few locking fixes to be more consistent with other FreeBSD drivers:
- Protect if_drv_flags with the driver lock, not atomic ops
- Hold the driver lock when adjusting multicast state.
- Hold the driver lock while adjusting if_capenable.

- Remove trailing newline from the current value before passing it to
userland and append a newline to the new string value before passing it

of the newer drivers. The basic problem was
that the driver was pulling the mbuf off the
drbr ring and then when sending with xmit(), encounting
a full transmit ring. Thus the lower layer
xmit() function would return an error, and the
drivers would then append the data back on to the ring.
For TCP this is a horrible scenario sure to bring
on a fast-retransmit.
The fix is to use drbr_peek() to pull the data pointer
but not remove it from the ring. If it fails then
we either call the new drbr_putback or drbr_advance
method. Advance moves it forward (we do this sometimes
when the xmit() function frees the mbuf). When
we succeed we always call advance. The
putback will always copy the mbuf back to the top
of the ring. Note that the putback *cannot* be used
with a drbr_dequeue() only with drbr_peek(). We most
of the time, in putback, would not need to copy it
back since most likey the mbuf is still the same, but
sometimes xmit() functions will change the mbuf via
a pullup or other call. So the optimial case for
the single consumer is to always copy it back. If
we ever do a multiple_consumer (for lagg?) we
will need a test and atomic in the put back possibly
a seperate putback_mc() in the ring buf.

tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.
