Subject: [PATCH] bonding: If IP route look-up to send an ARP fails, mark in
 bonding structure as no ARP sent.

During the creation of VLAN's atop bonding the underlying interfaces are 
made part of VLAN's, and at the same bonding driver gets aware that 
VLAN's exists above it and hence would consult IP routing for every ARP 
to  be sent to determine the route which tells bonding driver the 
correct VLAN tag to attach to the outgoing ARP packet. But, during the 
VLAN creation when vlan driver puts the underlying interface into 
default vlan and then actual vlan, in-between this if bonding driver 
consults the IP for a route, IP fails to provide a correct route and 
upon which bonding driver drops the ARP packet. ARP monitor when it
comes around next time, sees no ARP response and fails-over to the next 
available slave. Consulting for a IP route, ip_route_output(),happens in 
bond_arp_send_all().

To prevent this false fail-over, when bonding driver fails to send an 
ARP out it marks in its private structure, bonding{},  not to expect an 
ARP response, when ARP monitor comes around next time ARP sending will 
be tried again.

Extensively tested in a VM environment; sr-iov intf->bonding intf->vlan 
intf. All virtual interfaces created at boot time.
