	What is the bonding mode and options in the failure case?

	I see that the fix is fine in the sense that it returns to the
original status quo for the message.

	However, the code path seems odd; if best_slave is NULL, that
means that bond_find_best_slave() saw all slaves as down, but if
netif_carrier_ok is true, then bond_set_carrier() did not.
