    bonding: make mii_status sysfs node consistent · c8086f6d

    The spew in /proc/net/bonding/bond0 uses netif_carrier_ok() to determine
    mii_status, while /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mii_status looks at
    curr_active_slave, which doesn't actually seem to be set sometimes when
    the bond actually is up. A mode 4 bond configured via ifcfg-foo files on a
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, after boot, comes up clean and
    functional, but the sysfs node shows mii_status of down, while proc shows
    up. A simple enough fix here seems to be to use the same method for
    determining up or down in both places, and I'd opt for the one that seems
    to match reality.
