Add release TODO item for multicast crash being experienced by several

users, especially when running routed with vlans.  A regression test
has recently been committed, so this is a WIP.

<td>panic on multicast socket close after interface removal</td>
<td>&status.wip;</td>
<td>&a.rwatson;</td>
<td>Due to the addition of multicast locking, a long-present memory
corruption bug now generates an immediate panic if an interface is
removed while a multicast group is in use on the interface. This
can manifest if running routed and using vlans. A regression test
has now been committed as msocket_ifnet_remove. A short-term fix
will be to GC references to the interface in the IPv4/IPv6
multicast socket options hung off of the inpcb; a long term solution
will require determining the correct application semantics for
interface removal as relates to multicast sockets. This problem is
described in detail in PR kern/77665.</td>
