- ip_fw_chk() returns action as function return value. Field retval is
removed from args structure. Action is not flag any more. It is one
of integer constants.
- Any action-specific cookies are returned either in new "cookie" field
in args structure (dummynet, future netgraph glue), or in mbuf tag
attached to packet (divert, tee, some future action).
o Convert parsing of return value from ip_fw_chk() in ipfw_check_{in,out}()
to a switch structure, so that the functions are more readable, and a future
actions can be added with less modifications.

Introduce domain_init_status to keep track of the init status of the domains
list (surprise). 0 = uninitialized, 1 = initialized/unpopulated, 2 =
initialized/done. Higher values can be used to support late addition of
domains which right now "works", but is potential dangerous. I choose to
only give a warning when doing so.
Use domain_init_status with if_attachdomain[1]() to ensure that we have a
complete domains list when we init the if_afdata array. Store the current
value of domain_init_status in if_afdata_initialized. This way we can update
if_afdata after a new protocol has been added (once that is allowed).

(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.

(and panic). To try to finish making BPF safe, at the very least,
the BPF descriptor lock really needs to change into a reader/writer
lock that controls access to "settings," and a mutex that controls
access to the selinfo/knote/callout. Also, use of callout_drain()
instead of callout_stop() (which is really a much more widespread
issue).
This really doesn't belong here but is preferred (for the moment) over
adding yet another mechanism for sending msgs from the kernel to user apps.

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.
