Subject: bonding: don't permit to use ARP monitoring in 802.3ad
mode
From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ec9f1d15db8185f63a2c3143dc1e90ba18541b08 ]
Currently the ARP monitoring is not supported with 802.3ad, and it's
prohibited to use it via the module params.
However we still can set it afterwards via sysfs, cause we only check for
*LB modes there.
To fix this - add a check for 802.3ad mode in bonding_store_arp_interval.
