Hi Dave,

Please queue this one for -stable trees too.

Thanks.

---8<---

As bond_store_arp_validation and bond_store_arp_interval doesn't
deal with each other, we can't chain both at bond_open, otherwise
we are open to this de-sync state, steps in sequence:
- bond is down
- arp_interval = 0
- arp_validate = 1 or 2
- bond is up
- arp_interval = 1

This would lead to bond issuing ARP requests but never listening
to the replies, because the tap wasn't attached. After reaching
this state, while bond is up, setting arp_validate won't help
as it only acts if needed.
