Subject: [Question]: should we consider arp missed max during
 bond_ab_arp_probe()?

Hi Jay,

Our QE reported that, when there is no active slave during
bond_ab_arp_probe(), the slaves send the arp probe message one by one. This
will flap the switch's mac table quickly, sometimes even make the switch stop
learning mac address. So should we consider the arp missed max during
bond_ab_arp_probe()? i.e. each slave has more chances to send probe messages
before switch to another slave. What do you think?

Thanks
Hangbin
