pf: Must be in NET_EPOCH to call icmp_error

Description

pf: Must be in NET_EPOCH to call icmp_error

icmp_reflect(), called through icmp_error() requires us to be in NET_EPOCH.
Failure to hold it leads to the following panic (with INVARIANTS):

panic: Assertion in_epoch(net_epoch_preempt) failed at /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c:742
cpuid = 2
time = 1571233273
KDB: stack backtrace:

Note that we now enter NET_EPOCH twice if we enter ip_output() from pf_intr(),
but ip_output() will soon be converted to a function that requires epoch, so
entering NET_EPOCH directly from pf_intr() makes more sense.
