Are you referring to the ifa_ref() calls at lines 1674, 1745, 1756,
and 1795 of sys/net/if.c? Those long predate 264905. Why do you
think that 264905 introduced the bug? If anything, I guess that it
was introduced by change 262747, which removed ifa_free() from the
done: block of ip_output().

I don't think this is quite right. ip_output() references ia at lines
366, 433, 630-637, 674, and 675. All of those references have NULL
checks, so your patch won't cause a use-after-free bug, but I think
that the patch might cause statistics collection to fail, and it might
cause the IP source address to not be set.
Do you have a test case that can reproduce the panic?
