    kernel - Fix panic related to kqueue-based timers
    
    * Fix a panic related to kqueue-based timers.  When a knote is destroyed it
      is possible for the callout_stop() to race a callout on another cpu that
      is blocked on a lock.
    
    * Introduce callout_terminate() which stops a callout and ensures that no
      function calls for the callout is still in progress before returning.
      The kevent code now uses this function instead of callout_stop().
    
    * We can't have this assurance for the normal callout_stop() function because
      it can deadlock a backend stuck waiting for a lock when a frontend holding
      that lock calls callout_stop().
