Convert the two dimensional array to be malloced and introduce

an accessor function to get the correct rnh pointer back.

Update netstat to get the correct pointer using kvm_read()
as well.

This not only fixes the ABI problem depending on the kernel
option but also permits the tunable to overwrite the kernel
option at boot time up to MAXFIBS, enlarging the number of
FIBs without having to recompile. So people could just use
GENERIC now.
