instead of calling an SCTP specific function from the IP code.
This is a requirement of supporting SCTP as a kernel loadable module.
This patch was developed by markj@, I tweaked a bit the SCTP related
code.

When epoch(9) was introduced to network stack, it was basically
dropped in place of existing locking, which was mutexes and
rwlocks. For the sake of performance mutex covered areas were
as small as possible, so became epoch covered areas.
However, epoch doesn't introduce any contention, it just delays
memory reclaim. So, there is no point to minimise epoch covered
areas in sense of performance. Meanwhile entering/exiting epoch
also has non-zero CPU usage, so doing this less often is a win.
Not the least is also code maintainability. In the new paradigm
we can assume that at any stage of processing a packet, we are
inside network epoch. This makes coding both input and output
path way easier.
On output path we already enter epoch quite early - in the
ip_output(), in the ip6_output().
This patch does the same for the input path. All ISR processing,
network related callouts, other ways of packet injection to the
network stack shall be performed in net_epoch. Any leaf function
that walks network configuration now asserts epoch.
Tricky part is configuration code paths - ioctls, sysctls. They
also call into leaf functions, so some need to be changed.
This patch would introduce more epoch recursions (see EPOCH_TRACE)
than we had before. They will be cleaned up separately, as several
of them aren't trivial. Note, that unlike a lock recursion the
epoch recursion is safe and just wastes a bit of resources.

- Remove macros that covertly create epoch_tracker on thread stack. Such
macros a quite unsafe, e.g. will produce a buggy code if same macro is
used in embedded scopes. Explicitly declare epoch_tracker always.
- Unmask interface list IFNET_RLOCK_NOSLEEP(), interface address list
IF_ADDR_RLOCK() and interface AF specific data IF_AFDATA_RLOCK() read
locking macros to what they actually are - the net_epoch.
Keeping them as is is very misleading. They all are named FOO_RLOCK(),
while they no longer have lock semantics. Now they allow recursion and
what's more important they now no longer guarantee protection against
their companion WLOCK macros.
Note: INP_HASH_RLOCK() has same problems, but not touched by this commit.
This is non functional mechanical change. The only functionally changed
functions are ni6_addrs() and ni6_store_addrs(), where we no longer enter
epoch recursively.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
While here, prefer if_addrhead (FreeBSD) to if_addrlist (BSD compat) naming
for the interface address list in sctp_bsd_addr.c

I introduced a bug which initialized global locks
whenever the SCTP stack initialized. This was fixed in
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/258574
by rodrigc@. He just initialized the locks for
the default vnet. This fix reverts to the old
behaviour before r258221, which explicitly makes
sure it is only called once, because this works also on
other platforms.

X-MFC with: r258574.
add in the netgraph interface to the list of
acceptable interfaces. A todo at the next
IETF code blitz, though is we need to review
why we screen interfaces, there was a reason ;-).

Some bugs where fixed while doing this:
* ASCONF-ACK messages might use wrong port number when using
IPv6.
* Checking for additional addresses takes the correct address
into account and also does not do more comparisons than
necessary.
This patch is based on one received from bz@ who was
sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation and iXsystems.

packets based on the V-tag number. This is similar to
what a modern card can do with queue's for TCP... but
alas modern cards know nothing about SCTP.

2) Adds some __UserSpace__ on some of the common defines that
the user space code needs
3) Fixes a bug when we send up data to a user that failed. We
need to a) trim off the data chunk headers, if present, and
b) make sure the frag bit is communicated properly for the
msgs coming off the stream queues... i.e. we see if some
of the msg has been taken.
Obtained from: jeli contributed the VIMAGE changes on this pass Thanks Julain!
- Vimage prep - these are major restructures to move
all global variables to be accessed via a macro or two.
The variables all go into a single structure.
- Asconf address addition tweaks (add_or_del Interfaces)
- Fix rwnd calcualtion to be more conservative.
- Support SACK_IMMEDIATE flag to skip delayed sack
by demand of peer.
- Comment updates in the sack mapping calculations
- Invarients panic added.
- Pre-support for UDP tunneling (we can do this on
MAC but will need added support from UDP to
get a "pipe" of UDP packets in.
- clear trace buffer sysctl added when local tracing on.
Note the majority of this huge patch is all the vimage prep stuff :-)
