Subject:   IF_DRV_PREPEND unlocked?

I happen to be looking at the implementation of IFQ_DRV_PREPEND, and
unlike IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE, it doesn't obtain the lock when manipulating
the ifq.  I took a brief look at a few drivers, and it looks like some
of them expect that _PREPEND lock the Q like _DEQUEUE does.

This is likely not an issue often, since it's an error path that likely
rarely happens, but we should fix it.

Should we just add the IFQ_LOCK/_UNLOCK to the macro?

Comments or thoughts?
