    bonding: Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on bond devices · c565b488

    Bonding devices manage the unicast filters of the underlying
    interfaces, but do not turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag.  Thus
    anytime a unicast address is added to the bond, the bond is
    places in promiscuous mode.
    
    Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on the bond device so that the bond does
    not go into promiscuous mode needlesly.  If an underlying device
    does not support unicast filtering, that device will automaticall
    enter promiscuous mode already.
