Add ifa_try_ref() to simplify ifa handling inside epoch.
More and more code migrates from lock-based protection to the NET_EPOCH
umbrella. It requires some logic changes, including, notably, refcount
handling.
When we have an `ifa` pointer and we're running inside epoch we're
guaranteed that this pointer will not be freed.
However, the following case can still happen:
* in thread 1 we drop to 0 refcount for ifa and schedule its deletion.
* in thread 2 we use this ifa and reference it
* destroy callout kicks in
* unhappy user reports bug
To address it, new `ifa_try_ref()` function is added, allowing to return
failure when we try to reference `ifa` with 0 refcount.
Additionally, existing `ifa_ref()` is enforced with `KASSERT` to provide
cleaner error in such scenarious.
