multicast addresses from carp interface. [1]
o Rewrite carpdetach(), so that it does the following things: [1]
- Stops callouts.
- Decrements carp_suppress_preempt, if needed.
- Downs interface and sets CARP state to INIT.
- Calls carp_multicast_cleanup().
- Detaches softc from carp_if and if we are the last frees
the carp_if.
o Use new carpdetach() in carp_clone_destroy().
o In carp_ifdetach() acquire the carp_if lock and cleanup all
interfaces hanging on carp_if. [1]
o Make carp_ifdetach() static and use EVENT(9) to call it
from if_detach(). [2]
o In carp_setrun() exit if the softc doesn't have a valid pointer
to parent. [1]
