Hi Ben,
Idea is to log lacp specific tx failure. A one step further as in
ofproto_dpif_send_packet has to make the debug info more generic, even
though it would cater all of its calling functions.
For example, bundle_send_learning_packets reports such tx failures for
gratuitous packets. I think, we need to handle such warning at the calling
place itself to debug quickly.

Thanks,
Gowrishankar
