When validation on the backup slave is enabled, we need to validate the Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages received on the backup slave. To receive these messages, the correct destination MAC address must be added to the slave. However, the target in bonding is a unicast address, which we cannot use directly. Instead, we should first convert it to a Solicited-Node Multicast Address and then derive the corresponding MAC address.
