bonding: introduce primary_reselect option

In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.

Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action
after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation
update, and bumped the bonding version number.
