When resolving a path that the packet will take after being encapsulated
in mirror-to-gretap scenarios, one of the devices en route could be a
LAG. In that case, mirror to first up slave that corresponds to a front
panel port.

Notes:
Unlike VLANs, we don't support LAG in SPAN and RSPAN situations, only
ERSPAN ones. mlxsw can't actually support LAG well--since it needs to
resolve the mirroring to a particular front panel port, there's no way
to express the load balancing that the LAG is supposed to do.
In SPAN and RSPAN scenarios, the decision to set up a certain mirror is
purely an administrative one, and a given administrator can always
resolve a particular front panel port themselves. For ERSPAN however,
while the decision to mirror is administrative, routing of underlay
packets is a matter of routing protocols that might just happen to put
the remote tunnel end behind a LAG port. For these cases rather than
dropping the mirroring altogether, and reinstating it again only when
routes change, have mlxsw choose an arbitrary LAG member.
