[j-nsp] ms-mic cpu pinned, then reset conns?

we've had the ms-mic working pretty well for NAT on the mx80, until i
discovered this.

graph shows two different mx80's with their respective RE and ms-mic cpu
usage. seems like the maybe the connections build up, hammering the ms-mic
cpu and my guess is dumping all active NAT connections. the card itself
doesn't appear to be reloading.

i don't believe we're doing anything overly crazy. just letting some
machines call out to the world if the destination isn't our private network.

this is current state. what i find particularly interesting is the in/out
rate. that's a crazy amount of traffic seen on the ms-mic interface. we
don't even have that much traffic flowing thru the mx80's combined. the
jtac engineer suspects it's cosmetic, but now i'm guessing it relates to
the elevated cpu. i'm going to start graphing that interface as well.
