Technically this still breaks the KBI (in that existing drivers using
callout_pending(), callout_active(), and callout_deactivate() will not
do the correct thing).  OTOH, you can't preserve that and still fix the
race (well, unless you do locking in callout_deactivate() which you
might consider for an MFC even if you didn't do it in HEAD if the KBI
breakage is severe enough).
