 devctl_queue_length is checked twice.
 
 1)
  if (devctl_queue_length == 0)
                 return;
 
 So we leak message passed by the caller.
 
 2)
 mtx_lock(&devsoftc.mtx);
  if (devctl_queue_length == 0) {
                 free(n1->dei_data, M_BUS);
                 free(n1, M_BUS);
                 return;
 }
 
 So we can return with lock held where we shouldn't (or I'm
 misinterpreting something).
 
 How about this patch then:
