This is a recent RELENG_6 system. In particular, SVN r190369 (from
obrien, reviewed by rwatson) is applied.

>Description:

System panic:

	Sleeping thread (tid 100071, pid 1003) owns a non-sleepable lock
	panic: sleeping thread

After some fiddling I discovered that this may be related to IPSEC. The
box does not crash with IPSEC disabled.

After browsing through the changes I inspected the code in
sys/netinet/ip_output.c. SVN r190369 did add three lines to lock/unlock
pcbinfo at apparently appropriate places.

I think the last two additions (case IP_IPSEC_POLICY in
ip_ctloutput_pcbinfo()) are just wrong. IMHO there is no need to lock
pcbinfo as we do not need INP_LOCK(inp) here.

Please also note that INP_INFO_WUNLOCK only happens *within* the if
clause, but not if the if clause is not met, so the pbcinfo is kept
locked, which is likely not intended.

Anyway, I decided to remove the two additional lines. Testing showed
that my box did not crash any longer (of course with IPSEC enabled).
