bonding: 802.3ad: fix no transmission of LACPDUs
[ Upstream commit d745b5062ad2b5da90a5e728d7ca884fc07315fd ]
This is caused by the global variable ad_ticks_per_sec being zero as
demonstrated by the reproducer script discussed below. This causes
all timer values in __ad_timer_to_ticks to be zero, resulting
in the periodic timer to never fire.
To reproduce:
Run the script in
`tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding/bond-break-lacpdu-tx.sh` which
puts bonding into a state where it never transmits LACPDUs.

call stack:

-> if ad.system.sys_mac_addr != bond->dev->dev_addr
return
results:
Nothing is run in bond_3ad_initialize() because dev_addr equals
sys_mac_addr leaving the global ad_ticks_per_sec zero as it is
never initialized anywhere else.
The if check around the contents of bond_3ad_initialize() is no longer
needed due to commit 5ee14e6d336f ("bonding: 3ad: apply ad_actor settings
changes immediately") which sets ad.system.sys_mac_addr if any one of
the bonding parameters whos set function calls
bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings(). This is because if
ad.system.sys_mac_addr is zero it will be set to the current bond mac
address, this causes the if check to never be true.
