Having the txtest, rxtest and lacp_strict a global sysctls makes them
useless on a box that has more than one aggregate interface. Turning
test on will down all laggs on a box.

IMO, these should be ioctls that can be configured per-interface via
ifconfig, and in perfect case documented in ifconfig.8.
