I wonder if a lot of these panics are related to races on the
in6_ifaddr variable? Access to it is unsynchronised currently,
and I think it has been causing various problems. See my followup
to PR 93170.

I'm trying to sort out some locking patches for it, I'll test them
against your clock-setting test.
