	I don't believe that testing duplex here is correct; is_enabled
is not controlled by duplex, but by carrier state.  Duplex does affect
whether or not a port is permitted to aggregate, but that's entirely
separate logic (the AD_PORT_LACP_ENABLED flag).

	Would it be better to call bond_3ad_handle_link_change() here,
instead of manually testing duplex and setting is_enabled?
