protocol family to remove

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function is called by a protocol handler that wants to remove its address family, and have it unlinked from the new socket creation\&.
.PP
If protocol handler is a module, then it can use module reference counts to protect against new references\&. If protocol handler is not a module then it needs to provide its own protection in the ops\->create routine\&.
