Subject: [ 068/167] [PATCH 08/26] bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave
 link up

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 5a4309746cd74734daa964acb02690c22b3c8911 ]

When a slave comes up, we're unsetting the current_arp_slave without
removing active flags from it, which can lead to situations where we have
more than one slave with active flags in active-backup mode.

To avoid this situation we must remove the active flags from a slave before
removing it as a current_arp_slave.
