This won't fix any use-after-free panics at runtime, since the faulty
code is in fxp_release() which will only get called from fxp_attach() in
error scenarios and from fxp_detach().

I've never seen reports about use-after-free from fxp(4), I'd like to
know about those, even if the odds of those not being false positives is
small...
