>Description:

	some drivers attaches a device on open and detach it on close.
	eg. vnd, fss, cgd, pad, ... (i only confirmed vnd)

	typically they do:

	    open:
		cfdata_t cf = kmem_zalloc(sizeof(*cf), KM_SLEEP);
		  :
		  :
		config_attach_pseudo(cf);

	    close:
		config_detach(...);
		kmem_free(cf, sizeof(*cf));

	if they are detached by the other means, (eg. drvctl -d)
	cfdata_t leaks.

>How-To-Repeat:

	eg.
	```
	#! /bin/sh

	t=$(mktemp)
	dd if=/dev/zero of=$t bs=1m count=1

	while :; do
	    vnconfig vnd0 $t
	    drvctl -d vnd0
	done
	```
