>Description:
r253687 introduced a lock order reversal.  It's a lock of a sleepable lock while a nonsleepable lock is still held.  The problem is that lacp_attach creates some sysctl nodes, but further up the stack lagg_ioctl called LAGG_WLOCK() on the softc.
>How-To-Repeat:
ifconfig tap0 create
ifconfig tap1 create
ifconfig tap2 create
ifconfig lagg0 create
ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto lacp laggport tap0 laggport tap1 laggport
tap2 192.0.0.2/24
>Fix:
Two possible solutions come to mind:

1) Move the sysctl node creation out of lacp_attach.  Call it from lagg_ioctl after LAGG_WUNLOCK()

2) Turn the sysctl nodes into ioctls instead.  That was proposed for a different reason at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2013-July/049602.html .
