It is broken since in OpenBSD and FreeBSD function with same name do
different things.

This was not broken. Look in my changes to uipc_mbuf2.c, you'll see that
m_tag_delete() was changed so that it calls free thru method pointer.
As I said, I've checked all m_tag_free() consumers, and nothing is affected.

My main purpose for this change was to create a possibility to create a custom
free method, which inherits default method. How it is possible to do it
now, without API change?
