The same problem solved using a few nftables rules (in case you don't want to load eBPF):
$ nft 'add table netdev nt'
$ nft 'add chain netdev nt bond0EgressFilter { type filter hook egress device bond0 priority 0; }'
$ nft 'add chain netdev nt bond0IngressFilter { type filter hook ingress device bond0 priority 0; }'
$ nft 'add set netdev nt macset { type ether_addr; flags timeout; }'
$ nft 'add rule netdev nt bond0EgressFilter set update ether saddr timeout 5s @macset'
$ nft 'add rule netdev nt bond0IngressFilter ether saddr @macset counter drop'

Cheers,
 Nik
