Changes since v1:
* Clarify an unclear comment
* Move a (possible) name change to a separate patch

The ad_rx_machine, ad_periodic_machine and ad_port_selection_logic
functions all inspect and alter common fields within the port structure.
Previous to this patch, only the ad_rx_machines were mutexed, and the
periodic and port_selection could run unmutexed against an ad_rx_machine
trigged by an arriving LACPDU.

This patch remedies the situation by protecting all the state machines
from concurrency. This is accomplished by locking around all the state
machines for a given port, which are executed at regular intervals; and
the ad_rx_machine when handling an incoming LACPDU.
