address on an interface has changed. This lets stacked interfaces such as
vlan(4) detect that their lower interface has changed and adjust things in
order to keep working. Previously this situation broke at least vlan(4) and
lagg(4) configurations.
The EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE call was not placed within if_setlladdr() due to the
risk of a loop.

We don't lose any statistics with this change, because in a error
case the drop counter on the interface output queue is always incremented.

this means that it no longer grabs the lagg rwlock. Use two port table arrays
which list the active ports for Tx and switch between them with an atomic op.
Now the lagg rwlock is only exclusively locked for management (ioctls) and
queuing of lacp control frames isnt needed.

- Use the same parameters to lagg_link_active() to get the backup port as in
the output path, this didnt actually matter in practice as sc_primary is
always the first on the port list.

as up if at least one of its ports also has a link up. This fixes using
carp+lagg together and any other system that relies on linkstate events.

1. The locking was changed to shared but roundrobin mode still updated a
pointer in the softc with the next tx interface to use. This will panic
under high load. Change this to an atomically incremented sequence number in
order to choose the tx port in round robin.
2. IFQ_HANDOFF will free the mbuf if the queue is full, this will then be freed
again by lagg_start() and panic. Reorganised the error handling and freeing
to fix this.

clear if the master interface is in use or one of the backup links.

- Use the MTU from the first interface as the lagg MTU, all extra interfaces
must be the same.
This fixes using a lagg interface for a vlan or enabling jumbo frames, etc.

The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.
The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.
