Fix possible panic during ifnet detach in rtsock.

Description

Fix possible panic during ifnet detach in rtsock.

The panic can happen, when some application does dump of routing table
using sysctl interface. To prevent this, set IFF_DYING flag in
if_detach_internal() function, when ifnet under lock is removed from
the chain. In sysctl_rtsock() take IFNET_RLOCK_NOSLEEP() to prevent
ifnet detach during routes enumeration. In case, if some interface was
detached in the time before we take the lock, add the check, that ifnet
is not DYING. This prevents access to memory that could be freed after
ifnet is unlinked.
