  SVN rev 191416 on 2009-04-23 09:32:30Z by rwatson
  
  Add a new interface flag, IFF_DYING, which is set when a device driver
  calls if_free(), and remains set if the refcount is elevated.  IF_DYING
  skips the bit in the if_flags bitmask previously used by IFF_NEEDSGIANT,
  so that an MFC can be done without changing which bit is used, as
  IFF_NEEDSGIANT is still present in 7.x.
  
  ifnet_byindex_ref() checks for IFF_DYING and returns NULL if it is set,
  preventing new references from by acquired by index, preventing
  monitoring sysctls from seeing it.  Other lookup mechanisms currently
  do not check IFF_DYING, but may need to in the future.
  
  MFC after:      3 weeks
