bonding: allow carrier and link status to determine link state

Browse Source 
In a mixed environment it may be difficult to tell if your hardware
support carrier, if it does not it can always report true. With a new
use_carrier option of 2, we can check both carrier and link status
sequentially, instead of one or the other

MII / ETHTOOL ioctl method to determine the link state.
A value of 1 enables the use of netif_carrier_ok(), a value of
0 will use the deprecated MII / ETHTOOL ioctls. The default
