bonding/802.3ad: fix slave link initialization transition states
Once in a while, with just the right timing, 802.3ad slaves will fail to properly initialize, winding up in a weird state, with a partner system mac address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. This started happening after a fix to properly track link_failure_count tracking, where an 802.3ad slave that reported itself as link up in the miimon code, but wasn't able to get a valid speed/duplex, started getting set to BOND_LINK_FAIL instead of BOND_LINK_DOWN. That was the proper thing to do for the general "my link went down" case, but has created a link initialization race that can put the interface in this odd state. The simple fix is to instead set the slave link to BOND_LINK_DOWN again, if the link has never been up (last_link_up == 0), so the link state doesn't bounce from BOND_LINK_DOWN to BOND_LINK_FAIL -- it hasn't failed in this case, it simply hasn't been up yet, and this prevents the unnecessary state change from DOWN to FAIL and getting stuck in an init failure w/o a partner mac.
