Maybe changing "The path MTU is set to the active slave device, not the 
bonding master" to
"The path MTU is tried to set to the active slave device, not to the 
bonding master" is better.

It tried to change the PMTU to the slave. Whether the setting can 
succeed depends:
if the route is there(on slave), it goes successfully; if not no route 
found, it goes unsuccessfully.
For the no-route case, your suggestion breaks.
