Many of these locking issues are known but require more in-depth solutions
(that are underway).  In practice, this one should not cause trouble but
still should eventually be fixed.

This message is incorrect, the actual lock was acquired in if_dc.c:

Try this patch although it may be incorrect if ether_ifattach() depends on
the device-specific lock to be held (although that wouldn't really make
sense to me).
