H A Diflagg.cdiff 236178 Mon May 28 10:28:54 MDT 2012 rea if_lagg: allow to invoke SIOCSLAGGPORT multiple times in a row

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.
