Sam, I have searched all src/sys for m_tag_free() users. All of them call
m_tag_free() on an mtag that was just allocated several lines before. This
means, that nothing have changed for them.
Yes, I have changed the API, but nothing is affected. And it is important,
that now API is in accordance with OpenBSD's API, from where mtags came
from. This will make porting of things easier.
