bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad
This adds support for a configuring the minimum number of links that
must be active before asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco
EtherChannel min-links feature. This allows setting the minimum number
of member ports that must be up (link-up state) before marking the
bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for situations where
higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a minimum
number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover.
