Moni Shoua 7893b2491a bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over
With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts
is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure.
Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need
to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends
an ARP request to learn the new HW address.  This patch decreases
the chance for a lost of a gratuitous ARP packet by sending it more
than once. The number retries is configurable and can be set with a
module param.
