If multiple threads are invoking "ifconfig XXX create" a race may occur
which can lead to two different error messages for the same error.
a) ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: File exists
b) ifconfig: interface XXX already exists
This patch ensures ifconfig prints the same error code
for the same case.

the failover protocol is supported due to limitations in the IPoIB
architecture. Refer to the lagg(4) manual page for how to configure
and use this new feature. A new network interface type,
IFT_INFINIBANDLAG, has been added, similar to the existing
IFT_IEEE8023ADLAG .
ifconfig(8) has been updated to accept a new laggtype argument when
creating lagg(4) network interfaces. This new argument is used to
distinguish between ethernet and infiniband type of lagg(4) network
interface. The laggtype argument is optional and defaults to
ethernet. The lagg(4) command line syntax is backwards compatible.

r286700 added the "lacp_fast_timeout" option to `ifconfig', but we forgot to
include the new option in the string used to decode the option bits. Add
"LACP_FAST_TIMO" to LAGG_OPT_BITS.
Also, s/LAGG_OPT_LACP_TIMEOUT/LAGG_OPT_LACP_FAST_TIMO/g , to be clearer that
the flag indicates "Fast Timeout" mode.

Add an option flag so that arbitrary updates to a lagg's configuration
do not clear sc_stride. Preseve compatibility for old ifconfig
binaries. Update ifconfig to use the new flag and improve the casting
used when parsing the option parameter.
Modify the RR transmit function to avoid locklessly reading sc_stride
twice. Ensure that sc_stride is always 1 or greater.

This change creates an array of port maps indexed by numa domain
for lacp port selection. If we have lacp interfaces in more than
one domain, then we select the egress port by indexing into the
numa port maps and picking a port on the appropriate numa domain.
This is behavior is controlled by the new ifconfig use_numa flag
and net.link.lagg.use_numa sysctl/tunable (both modeled after the
existing use_flowid), which default to enabled.

- Warn, don't exit, when SIOCSLAGGPORT returns an error.
When we exit with an error during lagg creation, a single
failed NIC (which no longer attaches) can prevent lagg
creation and other configuration, such as adding an IPv4
address, and thus leave a machine unreachable.
- Preserve non-EEXISTS errors for exit status from SIOCSLAGGPORT,
in case scripts are looking for it. Hopefully this can be
extended if other parts of ifconfig can allow a "soft" failure.
- Improve the warning message to mention what lagg and what
member are problematic.

if_lagg(4) interfaces which were cloned in a vnet jail.
Sysctl nodes which are dynamically generated for each cloned interface
(net.link.lagg.N.*) have been removed, and use_flowid and flowid_shift
ifconfig(8) parameters have been added instead. Flags and per-interface
statistics counters are displayed in "ifconfig -v".
CR: D842
Currently, 'ifconfig laggX down' does not remove members from this
lagg(4) interface. So, 'service netif stop laggX' followed by
'service netif start laggX' will choke, because "stop" will leave
interfaces attached to the laggX and ifconfig from the "start" will
refuse to add already-existing interfaces.
The real-world case is when I am bundling together my Ethernet and
WiFi interfaces and using multiple profiles for accessing network in
different places: system being booted up with one profile, but later
this profile being exchanged to another one, followed by 'service
netif restart' will not add WiFi interface back to the lagg: the
"stop" action from 'service netif restart' will shut down my main WiFi
interface, so wlan0 that exists in the lagg0 will be destroyed and
purged from lagg0; the "start" action will try to re-add both
interfaces, but since Ethernet one is already in lagg0, ifconfig will
refuse to add the wlan0 from WiFi interface.
Since adding the interface to the lagg(4) when it is already here
should be an idempotent action: we're really not changing anything,
so this fix doesn't change the semantics of interface addition.

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.
