First, it calls callout_drain on lle->le_timer, but that is never
initialized for a v6 llentry.  Second, it never stops the ln_timer_ch
callout before it frees the llentry.  Third, it modifies the lltable
without holding IF_AFDATA_LOCK(in.c has the third problem: see the
-net discussion about kern/165863).
