Currently, in bonding it reused the IFF_SLAVE flag and checked it in ipv6 addrconf to prevent ipv6 addrconf. However, it is not a proper flag to use for no ipv6 addrconf, for bonding it has to move IFF_SLAVE flag setting ahead of dev_open() in bond_enslave(). Also, IFF_MASTER/SLAVE are historical flags used in bonding and eql, as Jiri mentioned, the new devices like Team, Failover do not use this flag. So as Jiri suggested, this patch adds IFF_NO_ADDRCONF in priv_flags of the device to indicate no ipv6 addconf, and uses it in bonding and moves IFF_SLAVE flag setting back to its original place.

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.
