     bonding: fix incorrect lacp mux state when agg not active

Sending this to verify the above patch is being backported to the trees 
listed. Have verified this patch does not exist in them currently. The 
patch fixes LACP mux machine state changes which if incorrect can cause 
a partner switch to send duplicate frames to a Linux host. This patch 
has been verified to fix a problem seen on a v3.10 system, and Cumulus 
is shipping this patch on kernel versions as old as v3.2.

Thank you,
-Jon
