kqueue for usb_dev

Hi HPS,

Your patch did not resolve the kernel panic.
I think, we should check knlist_clear() before knlist_destroy().
When a device is lost suddenly, usb_dev notify to a process in
usb_fifo_close() and then calls knlist_destroy(). knlist_destroy()
clears knlist->kn_lock and knlist->kn_unlock.

But, the process that is notified will start over kqueue_scan() after
knlist_destroy(). And, in KN_LIST_LOCK(kn), the context will call NULL
function (kn->knlist->kn_lock).

Regards,
 Kohji Okuno
