Allow to set ifmode for existing DCO interfaces in FreeBSD
While prexisting devices work well TUN/TAP the DCO interfaces require
setting the ifmode which cannot be done by FreeBSD base tooling. In
peer-to-peer mode this is not a problem because that is the default mode.
Subnet mode, however, will fail to be set and the resulting connection does
not start:
Failed to create interface ovpns2 (SIOCSIFNAME): File exists (errno=17)
DCO device ovpns2 already exists, won't be destroyed at shutdown
/sbin/ifconfig ovpns2 10.1.8.1/24 mtu 1500 up
ifconfig: in_exec_nl(): Empty IFA_LOCAL/IFA_ADDRESS
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument
FreeBSD ifconfig failed: external program exited with error status: 1
Exiting due to fatal error
Slightly restructure the code to catch the specific error
condition and execute dco_set_ifmode() in this case as well.
