npf(9): Drop table lock around copyout.

It is forbidden to hold a spin lock around copyout, and t_lock is a
spin lock.

We need t_lock in order to iterate over the list of entries.
However, during copyout itself, we only need to ensure that the
object we're copying out isn't freed by npf_table_remove or
npf_table_gc.

Fortunately, the only caller of npf_table_list, npf_table_remove, and
npf_table_gc is npfctl_table, and it serializes all of them by the
npf config lock.  So we can safely drop t_lock across copyout.
