The commit 3c9ef511b9fa ("bonding: avoid adding slave device with
IFF_MASTER flag") fix a crash when add slave device with IFF_MASTER,
but it rejects the scenario of nested bonding device.
As Eric Dumazet described: since there indeed is a usage scenario about
nesting bonding, we should not break it.
So we add a new judgment condition to allow nesting of bonding device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
