[PATCH 2.6.21.3] bonding: Fix 802.3ad no carrier on "no partner found" instance

["Laurent Chavey" <chavey@google.com>]

Remove the requirement to have at least one configured partner to
enable the operation of links. The later is necessary to have the code
in compliance with section 43.3.9 of IEEE 802.3,
