Jonathan Toppins d745b5062a bonding: 802.3ad: fix no transmission of LACPDUs
This is caused by the global variable ad_ticks_per_sec being zero as
demonstrated by the reproducer script discussed below. This causes
all timer values in __ad_timer_to_ticks to be zero, resulting
in the periodic timer to never fire.

To reproduce:
Run the script in
`tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding/bond-break-lacpdu-tx.sh` which
puts bonding into a state where it never transmits LACPDUs.

       -> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
            params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
     ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

       -> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
            params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
     ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

line 60: ip link set veth1-bond down master fbond

    params.ad_actor_system = 0
    params.mode = BOND_MODE_8023AD
    ad.system.sys_mac_addr == bond->dev->dev_addr
call stack:
    bond_enslave
    -> bond_3ad_initialize(); because first slave
       -> if ad.system.sys_mac_addr != bond->dev->dev_addr
          return
results:
     Nothing is run in bond_3ad_initialize() because dev_addr equals
     sys_mac_addr leaving the global ad_ticks_per_sec zero as it is
     never initialized anywhere else.

The if check around the contents of bond_3ad_initialize() is no longer
needed due to commit 5ee14e6d33 ("bonding: 3ad: apply ad_actor settings
changes immediately") which sets ad.system.sys_mac_addr if any one of
the bonding parameters whos set function calls
bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings(). This is because if
ad.system.sys_mac_addr is zero it will be set to the current bond mac
address, this causes the if check to never be true.

README

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.
