John-Mark:
Ok, I confirmed it...
Changing it to be
atomic_fetchadd_int(m->m_ext.ref_cnt, -1) == 1)
Fixes the problem.. no more leaks :-D

This should be 1 not 0.. as apparently fetchadd_int returns the old value
(at least that's what atomic(9) says), which means that if we ever race
on this comparision, we won't free though we should of...
if we look at refcount.h, it does:
return (atomic_fetchadd_int(count, -1) == 1);
which release a reference and apparently returns true if it needs to
be free'd...
Though the wierd part is that andre, "fixed" it to be 0 in 1.157:
Fix a logic error introduced with mandatory mbuf cluster refcounting and
freeing of mbufs+clusters back to the packet zone.
I am thinking about restoring the old code.. since
it appears to work...
Any comments or help would be appreciated..
Lets see what andre has to say about this.
