Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
This reduces noise when kernel is compiled by newer GCC versions,
such as one used by external toolchain ports.

Previously we set the csum_l3 flag for IPv4 and IPv6, but only IPv4
should have header checksumming applied.

No longer return ENXIO when trying to send an IPv6 packet in
nicvf_sq_add_hdr_subdesc().
Restructure the code so that the upper layer protocol parts are
agnostic of the L3 protocol (and no longer specific to IPv4).
With this basic IPv6 packets go through. We are still seeing
weird behaviour which needs further diagnosis.

Previously we passed tx packets to hardware via nicvf_tx_mbuf_locked
and then to the BPF tap, with a possibly invalid mbuf which would result
in a panic.

Number of free Tx descriptors does not need to be locked since
it can be modified atomically between SND and CQ tasks.
It will also block Tx routine from sending packets while CQ will not
be able to free descriptors.

- Avoid memory leak when nicvf_tx_mbuf_locked() fails
- Introduce nicvf_xmit_locked() routine that uses drbr_peek(),
drbr_advance() or drbr_putback() for a specific ifnet.
This gives more clear and efficient design as well as
prevents from dropping mbufs that where not sent due to temporary
lack of descriptors.

TSO packets will signal segments TX completion in the separate CQ
descriptors. Each CQ descriptor for HW TSO will point to the same
SQ entry.
Do not invoke nicvf_put_sq_desc() for secondary segments to avoid
free_cnt corruption and eventually integer overflow that will result
in the negative free_cnt value and hence impossibility of further
transmission.

- The network controller verifies Rx TCP/UDP/SCTP checksums by default.
Communicate this to the stack when the packet is not marked as erroneous
to avoid redundant checksum calculation in kernel.
- It is not uncommon to get the mbuf with m_len that is less than
the minimal size for the IP, TCP, UDP, etc. when HW checsumming
is enabled. To avoid data corruption performed by the HW that is
intended to write IP and TCP/UDP/SCTP checksums to the data segment,
the mbuf needs to be pulled up by the required number of bytes.
- Make sure that one can modify the mbufs that require checsum calculation
rather than check for NULL mbuf on each transmission.
