[ Upstream commit 28d68d396a1cd21591e8c6d74afbde33a7ea107e ]
Normally, a bond uses the MAC address of the first added slave as the bond’s MAC address. And the bond will set active slave’s MAC address to bond’s address if fail_over_mac is set to none (0) or follow (2).
When the first slave is removed, the bond will still use the removed slave’s MAC address, which can lead to a duplicate MAC address and potentially cause issues with the switch. To avoid confusion, let's warn the user in all situations, including when fail_over_mac is set to 2 or not in active-backup mode.
