Updated by Dan McDonald over 4 years ago

The summary is one case of a generic class of check-without-lock-then-hold problems across netstack.c. This fix addresses them.

OLD WAY:

flag check (should be under mutex)
        XXX KEBE SAYS MUCH CAN HAPPEN HERE XXX
    if flags don't check, return, else...
        XXX AND HERE TOO XXX
    mutex_enter
    refcount bump
    mutex_exit

NEW WAY:

mutex_enter
    flag check
    if flags don't check, mutex_exit and return, else...
    refcount bump
    mutex_exit
