bonding: introduce primary_reselect option
In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current active no matter what. Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation update, and bumped the bonding version number.
