Deal with the case where ifma_protospec may be NULL, during
any IPv4 multicast operations which reference it. There is a potential race because ifma_protospec is set to NULL when we discover the underlying ifnet has gone away. This write is not covered by the IF_ADDR_LOCK, and it's difficult to widen its scope without making it a recursive lock. It isn't clear why this manifests more quickly with 802.11 interfaces, but does not seem to manifest at all with wired interfaces. With this change, the 802.11 related panics reported by sam@ and cokane@ should go away. It is not the right fix, that requires more thought before 8.0. Idea from: sam Tested by: cokane
