bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection
Since commit 7bb11dc9 ("bonding: unify all places where actor-oper key needs to be updated."), the logic in bonding to handle selection between multiple aggregators has not functioned. This affects only configurations wherein the bonding slaves connect to two discrete aggregators (e.g., two independent switches, each with LACP enabled), thus creating two separate aggregation groups within a single bond. The cause is a change in 7bb11dc9 to no longer set AD_PORT_BEGIN on a port after a link state change, which would cause the port to be reselected for attachment to an aggregator as if were newly added to the bond. We cannot restore the prior behavior, as it contradicts IEEE 802.1AX 5.4.12, which requires ports that "become inoperable" (lose carrier, setting port_enabled=false as per 802.1AX 5.4.7) to remain selected (i.e., assigned to the aggregator). As the port now remains selected, the aggregator selection logic is not invoked. A side effect of this change is that aggregators in bonding will now contain ports that are link down. The aggregator selection logic does not currently handle this situation correctly, causing incorrect aggregator selection. This patch makes two changes to repair the aggregator selection logic in bonding to function as documented and within the confines of the standard: First, the aggregator selection and related logic now utilizes the number of active ports per aggregator, not the number of selected ports (as some selected ports may be down). The ad_select "bandwidth" and "count" options only consider ports that are link up. Second, on any carrier state change of any slave, the aggregator selection logic is explicitly called to insure the correct aggregator is active.
