  Log:
  Fix a panic in softclock() if the interface is destroyed with a bpf consumer
  attached.
  
  This is caused by bpf_detachd clearing IFF_PROMISC on the interface which does
  a SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl. The problem here is that while the interface has been
  stopped, IFF_UP has not been cleared so IFF_UP != IFF_DRV_RUNNING, this causes
  the ioctl function to init() the interface which resets the callouts.
  
  The destroy then completes and frees the softc but softclock will panic on a
  dead callout pointer.
  
  Ensure ifp->if_flags matches reality by clearing IFF_UP when we destroy.
