Log Message:
Fix FAST_IPSEC locking violation.

Without this change, using ESP tunnels with FAST_IPSEC on a 2-cpu i386
machine results in an mbuf leak.  This change was tested in netbsd-6.

When FAST_IPSEC is enabled and a tunnel is set up, after the
outer packet is stripped off, FAST_IPSEC queues the inner
packet on the appropriate queue (ipinstrq or ip6instrq).
These queues require the KERNEL_LOCK to be held before
using the queue, and the FAST_IPSEC code did not take the
KERNEL_LOCK as required.
KERNEL_LOCK and KERNEL_UNLOCK_ONE calls have been added.

If a struct ifnet instance is passed to the if_handoff
function which does this queuing, the interface's
if_start function may be called.  Some hardware devices
require KERNEL_LOCK to be held; others do not.  Looking
at the body of NetBSD code, other places where an if_start
function is called, KERNEL_LOCK is held.  Thus, the lock is
not released in if_handoff until after the if_start function
is called.  In practice, having the kernel lock when
if_start is called makes no difference - there is not
a single instance in all of the NetBSD code where
if_handoff is passed an instance of struct ifnet.
