mbuf cluster shortage caused kernel panic

I had a crash a few days ago on a 4.8-RELEASE box that I hadn't
looked into yet, but when I saw your message I went back to take a
look.

I also ran out of mbuf clusters.  First time on this machine, and
since I've used it to test a number of high bandwidth*delay paths
I've at times had the socket buffers cranked and really exercised
MBUF's but good.  At the time of the panic the limits were sane
(32k send/receive tcp).

Note also the SCSI reset in the middle, my box didn't reboot properly
because one of the (old, not in use) SCSI drives wouldn't spin up
on the reboot and was keeping the bus from resetting properly.  I
had to remove it before the box would boot.
