When "primary_reselect" is set to "failure", primary interface should
not become active until current active slave is up. But if we set first
member of bond device as a "primary" interface and "primary_reselect"
is set to "failure" then whenever primary interface's link get back(up)
it become active slave even if current active slave is still up.

With this patch, "bond_find_best_slave" will not traverse members if
primary interface is not candidate for failover/reselection and current
active slave is still up.

v2: return "curr" instead of "bond->curr_active_slave".
