Really it's a lot simpler than before. Before there were multiple
paths, recursion, etc. Now it's simple: bond_run() updates each
slave, enabling and disabling as necessary, and then after that if
there's no active_iface or if the active_iface is disabled we try to
choose a new one.
There are only two cases where the active_iface changes:
* There was no active_iface, so all the flows were assigned
the no_ifaces_tag. In this case bond_choose_active_iface()
will revalidate that tag.
* There was an active_iface but it got disabled.
bond_enable_slave() will have already revalidated that tag,
so there's no need to do it again here. (It wouldn't hurt
though.)
I guess there's really a third case:
* The active_iface was destroyed (with iface_destroy()). In
that case bridge_flush() will ensure that every flow gets
revalidated.
I think that we have it covered, but feel free to look again if you're
not sure.
