Kernel panic from lagg_ioctl and lagg_port_ioctl

Hi FreeBSD Networking folks.

We are seeing a kernel panics on stable/10 that are being caused by
lagg_ioctl() and lagg_port_ioctl().
The panic occurs when moving from an lacp configuration to, say, a
failover configuration.

Please double-check me, but what appears to be happening is that the
software context is not getting
cleaned up properly on a mode change and lacp_portreq() is getting called
when the lagg is set to failover
mode. In particular, sc->sc_portreq is left  pointing to lacp_portreq when
the mode is no longer lacp.

In earlier versions of lagg_ioctl() (e.g. stable/10/r171247) all of the
callout
vectors are set to NULL which I think will prevent the problem. Similar
NULLing code
is also in stable/7. I didn't check other releases.


<snip>
case SIOCSLAGG:
<snip>
   if (sc->sc_proto != LAGG_PROTO_NONE) {
           LAGG_WLOCK(sc);
           error = sc->sc_detach(sc);
           /* Reset protocol and pointers */
           sc->sc_proto = LAGG_PROTO_NONE;
           sc->sc_detach = NULL;
           sc->sc_start = NULL;
           sc->sc_input = NULL;
           sc->sc_port_create = NULL;
           sc->sc_port_destroy = NULL;
           sc->sc_linkstate = NULL;
           sc->sc_init = NULL;
           sc->sc_stop = NULL;
           sc->sc_lladdr = NULL;
           sc->sc_req = NULL;
           sc->sc_portreq = NULL;
   }
<snip>

Looks like the above code was taken out via r287723.

Evidently this has been made moot in HOL via r272170 and r272178 (maybe
others).

Here is one of the backtrace snippets:

Is there any chance of getting this fixed in stable/10 before code freeze?

We have tested a set of diffs that  fix the issue and will submit them for
review shortly.

Thanks,
