I suppose that the attached patch closes your race. However, there is still
race between RTM_DELETE and output path. The above script still drops kernel
to panic, but the other one. Output path works with already freed llinfo:

$3 = {
  la_le = {
    le_next = 0xdeadc0de, 
    le_prev = 0xdeadc0de
  }, 
  la_rt = 0xdeadc0de, 
  la_hold = 0xdeadc0de, 
  la_preempt = 0xc0de, 
  la_asked = 0xdead
}

Fixing this one is harder. We take la from unlocked rtentry obtained via
rt_check(), or from arplookup(). The latter drops lock on rtentry, too.
Then we do some work and use this la. It may have already been freed in
arp_rtrequest(), the RTM_DELETE case.

I see two approaches here:

1) Protecting llinfo with route lock. In this case we need rt_check()
to return locked *rt (just reference won't help). We also need
arplookup() to return locked rt. And do not unlock it withing all
arpresolve() and a big part of in_arpinput() functions.

2) Add mutex to llinfo_arp. I'm afraid this will hurt performance.
