docs: net: bonding: remove mentions of trans_start

ARP monitoring no longer depends on dev->last_rx or dev_trans_start(),
so delete this information.

The ARP monitor relies on the device driver itself to verify
that traffic is flowing. In particular, the driver must keep up to
date the last receive time, dev->last_rx. Drivers that use NETIF_F_LLTX
flag must also update netdev_queue->trans_start. If they do not, then the
ARP monitor will immediately fail any slaves using that driver, and
those slaves will stay down. If networking monitoring (tcpdump, etc)
shows the ARP requests and replies on the network, then it may be that
your device driver is not updating last_rx and trans_start.
