Subject: [PATCH net v2] bonding: disable arp and enable mii monitoring when bond change to no uses arp mode

From: Ding Tianhong <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:12:38 +0800

Because the ARP monitoring is not support for 802.3ad, but I still
could change the mode to 802.3ad from ab mode while ARP monitoring
is running, it is incorrect.

So add a check for 802.3ad in bonding_store_mode to fix the problem,
and make a new macro BOND_NO_USES_ARP() to simplify the code.

v2: according to the Dan Williams's suggestion, bond mode is the most
    important bond option, it should override any of the other sub-options.
    So when the mode is changed, the conficting values should be cleared
    or reset, otherwise the user has to duplicate more operations to modify
    the logic. I disable the arp and enable mii monitoring when the bond mode
    is changed to AB, TB and 8023AD if the arp interval is true.
