Use M_ASSERTVALID in BPF_MTAP so that we catch when freed mbufs are

that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.
Other/related changes:
o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts
Notes:
1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.

any queued packets for the isr, process those packets before the newly
submitted packet, maintaining ordering of all packets being delivered
to the netisr. Remove the bypass counter since we don't bypass anymore.
Leave the comment about possible problems and options since later
performance optimization may change the strategy for addressing ordering
problems here.
Specifically, this maintains the strong isr ordering guarantee; additional
parallelism and lower latency may be possible by moving to weaker
guarantees (per-interface, for example). We will probably at some point
also want to remove the one instance netisr dispatch limit currently
enforced by a mutex, but it's not clear that's 100% safe yet, even in
the netperf branch.

(direct dispatch) in interrupt threads when the netisr in question
isn't already active. If a netisr is already active, or direct
dispatch is already in progress, we queue the packet for later
delivery. Previously, this option was disabled by default. I have
measured 20%+ performance improvements in IP packet forwarding with
this enabled.
Please report any problems ASAP, especially relating to stack depth or
out-of-order packet processing.
