    bonding: Force slave speed check after link state recovery for 802.3ad · a1e5a76d

    The following scenario was encountered during testing of logical
    partition mobility on pseries partitions with bonded ibmvnic
    adapters in LACP mode.
    
    1. Driver receives a signal that the device has been
       swapped, and it needs to reset to initialize the new
       device.
    
    2. Driver reports loss of carrier and begins initialization.
    
    3. Bonding driver receives NETDEV_CHANGE notifier and checks
       the slave's current speed and duplex settings. Because these
       are unknown at the time, the bond sets its link state to
       BOND_LINK_FAIL and handles the speed update, clearing
       AD_PORT_LACP_ENABLE.
    
    4. Driver finishes recovery and reports that the carrier is on.
    
    5. Bond receives a new notification and checks the speed again.
       The speeds are valid but miimon has not altered the link
       state yet.  AD_PORT_LACP_ENABLE remains off.
    
    Because the slave's link state is still BOND_LINK_FAIL,
    no further port checks are made when it recovers. Though
    the slave devices are operational and have valid speed
    and duplex settings, the bond will not send LACPDU's. The
    simplest fix I can see is to force another speed check
    in bond_miimon_commit. This way the bond will update
    AD_PORT_LACP_ENABLE if needed when transitioning from
    BOND_LINK_FAIL to BOND_LINK_UP.
