This patchset fixes an issue where bonding fails to establish a stable LACP negotiation when operating in passive mode (lacp_active=off).
In passive mode, the current implementation only replies when the partner's state changes, which results in LACP timeout and unstable aggregator formation.
With this change, the bond responds to each received LACPDU in passive mode by setting ntt = true, ensuring timely replies and stable LACP negotiation.
