    Reformulate bpf_dettachd() to acquire the BIF_LOCK() as well as
    BPFD_LOCK() when removing a descriptor from an interface descriptor
    list.  Hold both over the operation, and do a better job at
    maintaining the invariant that you can't find partially connected
    descriptors on an active interface descriptor list.
  
    This appears to close a race that resulted in the kernel performing
    a NULL pointer dereference when BPF sessions are detached during
    heavy network activity on SMP systems.
  
    RELENG_5 candidate.

    Reformulate use of linked lists in 'struct bpf_d' and 'struct bpf_if'
    to use queue(3) list macros rather than hand-crafted lists.  While
    here, move to doubly linked lists to eliminate iterating lists in
    order to remove entries.  This change simplifies and clarifies the
    list logic in the BPF descriptor code as a first step towards revising
    the locking strategy.
  
    RELENG_5 candidate.
