Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: reset the slave's mtu when its be changed

From: Ding Tianhong <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 19:32:51 +0800

All slave should have the same mtu with mastet's, and the bond do it when
enslave the slave, but the user could change the slave's mtu, it will cause
the master and slave have different mtu, althrough in AB mode, it does not
matter if the slave is not the current slave, but in other mode, it is incorrect,
so reset the slave's mtu like the master set.
