According to bonding.txt, the fail_over_ma should only affect active-backup mode, but I found that the fail_over_mac could be set to active or follow in all modes, this will cause new slave could not be set to bond's MAC address at enslave processing and restore its own MAC address at removal processing. The correct way to fix the problem is that we should not add restrictions when setting options, just need to modify the bond enslave and removal processing to check the mode in addition to fail_over_mac when setting a slave's MAC during enslavement. The change active slave processing already only calls the fail_over_mac function when in active-backup mode. Thanks for Jay's suggestion. The patch also modify the pr_warning() to pr_warn().
