We need to refuse to add slave devices to the bonding which does
not set IFF_UP flag, otherwise some problems will be caused(such as
bond_set_carrier() will not sync carrier state to upper net device).
The ifenslave command can prevent such use case, but through the sysfs
interface, slave devices can still be added regardless of whether
the bonding is set with IFF_UP flag or not.

So we introduce a new BOND_OPTFLAG_IFUP flag to avoid adding slave
devices to inactive bonding.

	What specifically happens in the carrier state issue you
mention?  Are there other specific issues?

	As far as I can recall, adding interfaces to the bond while the
bond is down has worked for a very long time, so I'm concerned that
disabling that functionality will have impact on existing
configurations.

	Also, to the best of my knowledge, the currently packaged
ifenslave programs are scripts that utilize the sysfs interface.  I'm
unaware of current usage of the old C ifenslave program (removed from
the kernel source in 2013), although the kernel code should still
support it.
