Matt Macy d7c5a620e2 ifnet: Replace if_addr_lock rwlock with epoch + mutex 
Run on LLNW canaries and tested by pho@

gallatin:
Using a 14-core, 28-HTT single socket E5-2697 v3 with a 40GbE MLX5
based ConnectX 4-LX NIC, I see an almost 12% improvement in received
packet rate, and a larger improvement in bytes delivered all the way
to userspace.

When the host receiving 64 streams of netperf -H $DUT -t UDP_STREAM -- -m 1,
I see, using nstat -I mce0 1 before the patch:
