Subject: [PATCH RESEND net-next v3 2/2] bonding: fail_over_mac should only
 affect AB mode in bond_set_mac_address()

The fail_over_mac could be set to active or follow in any time for all modes,
so if the fail_over_mac is not none and the current mode is not active-backup,
the bond_set_mac_address() could not change the master and slave's MAC address.

In bond_set_mac_address(), the fail_over_mac should only affect AB mode, so modify
to check the mode in addition to fail_over_mac when setting bond's MAC address.
