IMHO, this looks like a race. The route is not locked, when
its llinfo is edited.

Probably the mbuf was freed when arp reply arrived and la_hold was send.
Look into in_arpinput() near 736:

                        (*ifp->if_output)(ifp, la->la_hold, rt_key(rt), rt);
                        la->la_hold = 0;

Yeah, I have just triggered another panic running 15 instances of this script on
SMP box:

(
while (true); do
	arp -d 81.19.64.111  >/dev/null 2>&1;
	ping -c 1 -t 1 81.19.64.111 >/dev/null 2>&1;
done
) &

But my duplicate free is in fxp_txeof(). This means that output thread has
won the race.
