dispatched without Giant, and add NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, which allows specific
netisr handlers to always be dispatched via a queue (deferred). Mark the
usb and if_ppp netisr handlers as NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, and explicitly
acquire Giant in those handlers.
Previously, any netisr handler not marked NETISR_MPSAFE would necessarily
run deferred and with Giant acquired. This change removes Giant
scaffolding from the netisr infrastructure, but NETISR_FORCEQUEUE allows
non-MPSAFE handlers to continue to force deferred dispatch so as to avoid
lock order reversals between their acqusition of Giant and any calling
context.
It is likely we will be able to remove NETISR_FORCEQUEUE once
IFF_NEEDSGIANT is removed, as non-MPSAFE usb and if_ppp drivers will no
longer be supported.

and PCBs for IPX raw sockets, IPX datagram sockets, and IPX/SPX.
As such, remove remove NET_NEEDS_GIANT() for IPX, and remove the
assertion of Giant in the ipxintr() IPX input path.
Note that IPX/SPX is not fully MPSAFE, and that there are some
problems with IPX/SPX locking that will require some further work.
However, it is now safe enough to run in general without the Giant
lock.

portion of IPX/SPX:
- Protect IPX PCB lists with the IPX PCB list mutex, in particular
when calling PCB and PCB list manipulation routines in ipx_pcb.c.
- Protect both IPX PCB state and SPX PCB state using the IPX PCB
mutex.
- Generally annotate locking, as well as adding liberal use of lock
assertions to document locking requirements.
- Where possible, use unlocked reads when reading integer or smaller
sized socket options on SPX sockets.
- De-spl throughout.
Notes:
- spx_input() expects both the list mutex and PCB mutex to be held
on entry, but will release both on return. Because sonewconn() is
called from spx_input(), it may actually drop one PCB lock and
acquire another during generation of a new connection, meaning the
caller is not in a position to unlock the PCB mutex.

o mark all netisr's except NETISR_IP as needing Giant
o add a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion to the top of netisr's that need Giant
o pickup Giant (when debug_mpsafenet is 1) inside ip_input before
calling up with a packet
o change netisr handling so swi_net runs w/o Giant; instead we grab
Giant before invoking handlers based on whether the handler needs Giant
o change netisr handling so that netisr's that are marked MPSAFE may
have multiple instances active at a time
