           Summary: ng_bridge don't sends broadcast packet to first found
                    link in case of error in other links

ng_bridge.c patch

When for some reason (including legitimate) sending manycast (in my case DHCP
reply broadcast) packet to one of multiple links of ng_bridge fails (for
example eiface is administratively brought down) the original packet isn't send
via first found link. This makes no sense for me as other links are tolerated
for errors. Attached patch changes this behavior as send the packet to all
links and keeps the logic to return the last seen error.
