bonding: document two undocumented options.
Commit 655f8919d549ad1872e24d826b6ce42530516d2e
bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad
and commit ebd8e4977a87cb81d93c62a9bff0102a9713722f
bonding: add all_slaves_active parameter
introduced new options to bonding, but didn't provide the documentation
for those options.
V2: add the default value for both options.
V3: document the exact behavior of min_links default value.

246 | Normally, bonding will drop duplicate frames (received on inactive | ||

248 | it is nice to allow duplicate frames to be delivered. | ||

448 | min_links | ||
449 | |||
450 | Specifies the minimum number of links that must be active before | ||
451 | asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco EtherChannel min-links | ||
452 | feature. This allows setting the minimum number of member ports that | ||
453 | must be up (link-up state) before marking the bond device as up | ||
454 | (carrier on). This is useful for situations where higher level services | ||
455 | such as clustering want to ensure a minimum number of low bandwidth | ||

459 | The default value is 0. This will cause carrier to be asserted (for | ||

462 | aggregator cannot be active without at least one available link, | ||
463 | setting this option to 0 or to 1 has the exact same effect. | ||
