May I ask for a backport to stable of this patch?

It's now in Linus tree: a31d27fbed5d ("tun: fix bonding active backup with arp
monitoring"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a31d27fbed5d

I didn't put a Fixes tag in the original submission because the bug is there
before git ages.
Maybe "Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")" would have been a better choice.
