IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

This isn't necessarily worse than checking whether RX is idle

requiring DC_TX_ALIGN or DC_TX_COALESCE, which was previously done
in dc_start_locked(), into dc_encap().
o In dc_encap():
- If m_defrag() fails just drop the packet like other NIC drivers
do. This should only happen when there's a mbuf shortage, in which
case it was possible to end up with an IFQ full of packets which
couldn't be processed as they couldn't be defragmented as they
were taking up all the mbufs themselves. This includes adjusting
dc_start_locked() to not trying to prepend the mbuf (chain) if
dc_encap() has freed it.
- Likewise, if bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() fails as dc_dma_map_txbuf()
failed, free the mbuf possibly allocated by the above call to
m_defrag() and drop the packet.
o In dc_txeof():
- Don't clear IFF_DRV_OACTIVE unless there are at least 6 free TX
descriptors. Further down the road dc_encap() will bail if there
are only 5 or fewer free TX descriptors, causing dc_start_locked()
to abort and prepend the dequeued mbuf again so it makes no sense
to pretend we could process mbufs again when in fact we won't.
While at it replace this magic 5 with a macro DC_TX_LIST_RSVD.
- Just always assign idx to sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_cons; it doesn't
make much sense to exclude the idx == sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_cons
case.
o In dc_dma_map_txbuf() there's no need to set sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_err
to error if the latter is != 0, bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() already
returns the same error value in that case anyway.
o For less overhead, convert to use bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() for
loading RX buffers.
o Remove some banal and/or outdated comments.

- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING

- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
