Just run some UDP traffic on head or stable/10 and watch the refcount
leak on the transmitter.

# netperf -H ... -t UDP_STREAM


I see these two do ifa_ref (once per packet).

              kernel`ip_output+0x527
              kernel`udp_send+0xa88
              kernel`sosend_dgram+0x583
              kernel`kern_sendit+0x244
              kernel`sendit+0x129
              kernel`sys_sendto+0x4d
              kernel`amd64_syscall+0x3fb

              kernel`in_pcbladdr+0x160
              kernel`in_pcbconnect_setup+0x18b
              kernel`udp_send+0x3d7
              kernel`sosend_dgram+0x583
              kernel`kern_sendit+0x244
              kernel`sendit+0x129
              kernel`sys_sendto+0x4d
              kernel`amd64_syscall+0x3fb


(kgdb) l *(ip_output + 0x527)
0xffffffff80ac37f7 is in ip_output (/usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_output.c:249).
244			ip->ip_ttl = 1;
245			isbroadcast = 1;
246			ifa_free((void *)ia);
247		} else if (flags & IP_ROUTETOIF) {
248			if ((ia = ifatoia(ifa_ifwithdstaddr(sintosa(dst)))) == NULL &&
249			    (ia = ifatoia(ifa_ifwithnet(sintosa(dst), 0))) == NULL) {
250				IPSTAT_INC(ips_noroute);
251				error = ENETUNREACH;
252				goto bad;
253			}

And only this one does ifa_free (once per packet)
              kernel`in_pcbladdr+0x1fb
              kernel`in_pcbconnect_setup+0x18b
              kernel`udp_send+0x3d7
              kernel`sosend_dgram+0x583
              kernel`kern_sendit+0x244
              kernel`sendit+0x129
              kernel`sys_sendto+0x4d
              kernel`amd64_syscall+0x3fb


So there is a net leak of 1 refcount per packet.
