bonding: Gratuitous ARP gets dropped when first slave added

Browse Source 
When the first slave is added (such as during bootup) the first
gratuitous ARP gets dropped. We don't see this drop during a failover.
The packet gets dropped in qdisc (noop_enqueue).

The fix is to delay the sending of gratuitous ARPs till the bond dev's
carrier is present.

It can also be worked around by setting num_grat_arp to more than 1.
