These lock the fast forwarding hash table with a lock per hash bucket.
There is one known issue with these changes: a LOR with the bridge code
caused by holding a lock across the call to forward the packet. Also, some
statistics are not consistently updated.
Beware of overlap with routing table locking changes.
