ozaki-r 589739056f Defer some pr_input to workqueue
pr_input is currently called in softint. Some pr_input such as ICMP, ICMPv6
and CARP can add/delete/update IP addresses and routing table entries. For
example, icmp6_redirect_input updates an a routing table entry and
nd6_ra_input may delete an IP address.

Basically such operations shouldn't be done in softint. That aside, we have
a reason to avoid the situation; psz/psref waits cannot be used in softint,
however they are required to work in such pr_input in the MP-safe world.

The change implements the workqueue pr_input framework called wqinput which
provides a means to defer pr_input of a protocol to workqueue easily.
Currently icmp_input, icmp6_input, carp_proto_input and carp6_proto_input
are deferred to workqueue by the framework.
