The linked list of pfil hooks is changed to "chain" and this term
is applied consistently. The head_list remains with "list" term.
Add KASSERT to vnet_pfil_uninit().
Update and extend comments.

Instead, add protocol specific mbuf flags M_IP_NEXTHOP and
M_IP6_NEXTHOP. Use them to indicate that the mbuf's chain
contains the PACKET_TAG_IPFORWARD tag. And do a tag lookup
only when this flag is set.

filters (ipfw and PF) use the same ruleset with the same lock for both
AF_INET and AF_INET6 there is no need in more fine-grade locking.
However, it is possible to request personal lock by specifying
PFIL_FLAG_PRIVATE_LOCK flag in pfil_head structure (see pfil.9 for
more details).
Export PFIL lock via rw_lock(9)/rm_lock(9)-like API permitting pfil consumers
to use this lock instead of own lock. This help reducing locks on main
traffic path.
pfil_assert() is currently not implemented due to absense of rm_assert().
Waiting for some kind of r234648 to be merged in HEAD.
This change is part of bigger patch reducing routing locking.

- Add rm_init_flags() and accept extended options only for that variation.
- Add a flags space specifically for rm_init_flags(), rather than borrowing
the lock_init() flag space.
- Define flag RM_RECURSE to use instead of LO_RECURSABLE.
- Define flag RM_NOWITNESS to allow an rmlock to be exempt from WITNESS
checking; this wasn't possible previously as rm_init() always passed
LO_WITNESS when initializing an rmlock's struct lock.
- Add RM_SYSINIT_FLAGS().
- Rename embedded mutex in rmlocks to make it more obvious what it is.
- Update consumers.
- Update man page.
This has the benefit that rmlocks have proper support for reader recursion
(in contrast to rwlock(9) which could potential lead to writer stravation).
It also means a significant performance gain, eventhough only visible in
microbenchmarks at the moment.

the value of ph_nhooks to zero, not the address. This removes
extranious calls to pfil_run_hooks (and an rw lock) from the
network stack's critical path when no pfil hooks are active.

filtering mechanisms to use the new rwlock(9) locking API:
- Drop the variables stored in the phil_head structure which were specific to
conditions and the home rolled read/write locking mechanism.
- Drop some includes which were used for condition variables
- Drop the inline functions, and convert them to macros. Also, move these
macros into pfil.h
- Move pfil list locking macros intp phil.h as well
- Rename ph_busy_count to ph_nhooks. This variable will represent the number
of IN/OUT hooks registered with the pfil head structure
- Define PFIL_HOOKED macro which evaluates to true if there are any
hooks to be ran by pfil_run_hooks
- In the IP/IP6 stacks, change the ph_busy_count comparison to use the new
PFIL_HOOKED macro.
- Drop optimization in pfil_run_hooks which checks to see if there are any
hooks to be ran, and returns if not. This check is already performed by the
IP stacks when they call:
if (!PFIL_HOOKED(ph))
goto skip_hooks;
- Drop in assertion which makes sure that the number of hooks never drops
below 0 for good measure. This in theory should never happen, and if it
does than there are problems somewhere
- Drop special logic around PFIL_WAITOK because rw_wlock(9) does not sleep
- Drop variables which support home rolled read/write locking mechanism from
the IPFW firewall chain structure.
- Swap out the read/write firewall chain lock internal to use the rwlock(9)
API instead of our home rolled version
- Convert the inlined functions to macros

Thanks to: jhb for the new locking API
passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with
the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with
debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do
so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock
and will follow in a seperate (later) commit.
This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in
forseeable future.
