Alexander V. Chernikov f8aee88f0b Remove LLE read lock from IPv4 fast path.
LLE structure is mostly unchanged during its lifecycle.
To be more specific, there are 2 things relevant for fast path
  lookup code:
1) link-level address change. Since r286722, these updates are performed
  under AFDATA WLOCK.
2) Some sort of feedback indicating that this particular entry is used so
  we re-send arp request to perform reachability verification instead of
  expiring entry. The only signal that is needed from fast path is something
  like binary yes/no.

The latter is solved by the following changes:
1) introduce special r_skip_req field which is read lockless by fast path,
  but updated under (new) req_mutex mutex. If this field is non-zero, then
  fast path will acquire lock and set it back to 0.
2) introduce simple state machine: incomplete->reachable<->verify->deleted.
  Before that we implicitely had incomplete->reachable->deleted state machine,
  with V_arpt_keep between "reachable" and "deleted". Verification was performed
  in runtime 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep expire.
  This is changed to "change state to verify 5 seconds before V_arpt_keep,
  set r_skip_req to non-zero value and check it every second". If the value
  is zero - then send arp verification probe.
These changes do not introduce any signifficant control plane overhead:
  typically lle callout timer would fire 1 time more each V_arpt_keep (1200s)
  for used lles and up to arp_maxtries (5) for dead lles.

As a result, all packets towards "reachable" lle are handled by fast path without
acquiring lle read lock.

Additional "req_mutex" is needed because callout / arpresolve_slow() or eventhandler
  might keep LLE lock for signifficant amount of time, which might not be feasible
  for fast path locking (e.g. having rmlock as ether AFDATA or lltable own lock).

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
