Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: re-evaluate force_primary when the primary slave
 name changes  

From: Xiangning Yu <yuxiangning@...il.com>

There is a timing issue under active-standy mode, when bond_enslave() is
called, bond->params.primary might not be initialized yet.

Any time the primary slave string changes, bond->force_primary should be
set to true to make sure the primary becomes the active slave.
