    kernel - Fix ifnet scan race in ipv6
    
    * Fix situations where an ifnet scan can catch an interface as it is still
      being initialized, before ifp->if_afdata[AF_INET6] is assigned.
    
    * Add a global ifnet_token to protect if_index and the ifnet list.
    
      WARNING, there are still SMP races in the ifnet scans, they have
      not yet been instrumented with the new token.
    
    * Also reorder the TAILQ_INSERT of a new if into the ifnet list to occur
      after all the domain initialization has been done rather than before.
