insert flow entry. During the route lookup the critical section is
exited. It may happen, that after route lookup we will be executed
on an other CPU that already has such flowentry. Before this change
we simply freed the flowentry and returned to ip_output() with
failure.
Actually there is nothing wrong with using previously allocated
flow entry, updating it properly. Thus, make flowentry_insert()
return the new either old fle, and make use of it.
Count reuses as "collisions" and real inserts as "inserts".

Some of the collisions that are occuring are due to flowtable lookups
that succeed but have an invalid lle - typically because the L2 adjacency
lookup hasn't completed. This would lead to a follow-up insert which
would then fail (ie, collision) and the code would fall through to doing
a slow-path L2/L3 lookup in the netinet/netinet6 code.
This patch simply aborts storing a new flowtable entry if the lle isn't
yet valid.
Whilst I'm here, add a new pcpu counter for the item so the number of
failures can be tracked separately from generic "collisions."

- ip_output() and ip_output6() simply call flowtable_lookup(),
passing mbuf and address family. That's the only code under
#ifdef FLOWTABLE in the protocols code now.
o Revamp statistics gathering and export.
- Remove hand made pcpu stats, and utilize counter(9).
- Snapshot of statistics is available via 'netstat -rs'.
- All sysctls are moved into net.flowtable namespace, since
spreading them over net.inet isn't correct.
o Properly separate at compile time INET and INET6 parts.
o General cleanup.
- Remove chain of multiple flowtables. We simply have one for
IPv4 and one for IPv6.
- Flowtables are allocated in flowtable.c, symbols are static.
- With proper argument to SYSINIT() we no longer need flowtable_ready.
- Hash salt doesn't need to be per-VNET.
- Removed rudimentary debugging, which use quite useless in dtrace era.
The runtime behavior of flowtable shouldn't be changed by this commit.
