Subject: [PATCH] bond: restore MAC on release only when there is a cloned MAC
 address

Currently we unconditionally reset the MAC to the previous value after
releasing ports. This has some disadvantages:

- by default, after the last port is removed the bond will have one
   of the previous port's address, which could conflict with the port;

- in some cases, changing the bond MAC is not possible. For example
   when the bond is active-backup and has fail_over_mac=1|2. In such
   case the netlink call succeeds, but the address doesn't
   change; then NM would keep waiting for some time.

Don't try to restore the MAC unless the bond connection has a cloned
MAC set.
