Description

Hi,

It turns out the previous problem (tcp_timer_2msl) is related to
calling tcp_output() in tcp_usr_connect() and tcp_connect().
For TCP PRU_CONNECT is handled on tcp_thread0 following two
functions are executed in that thread:
tcp_connect() and tcp_output()

tcp_connect() will call in_pcbladdr() if source address is INADDR_ANY,
then inp's route will be filled. If the target port of this TCP
connection is not tcp_thread0's port then we actually use an route
entry on a different CPU and will unref it on different CPU. If we
free the route entry allocated in in_pcbladdr() if target port is not
tcp_thread0's port, then tcp_output() in tcp_usr_connect() will
cause problem too, since it is called in tcp_thread0, an route entry
in CPU0 will still be installed to inp's route.

So I made following patch:
- If target port is not tcp_thread0's port, then we free the route
entry allocated by in_pcbladdr().
- In tcp_usr_connect(), if target port is not tcp_thread0's port, we
dispatch tcp_output to the target port to be called.

Please review it:

I like it.  We should probably also start adding cpu-assertions to the
    tcp protocol stack, as a step towards removing the BGL from the protocol
    stack threads.
