It doesn't work to hook up an active-backup bond on one switch to an
active-backup bond on another switch, because they might pick different
active interfaces and therefore not pass any traffic.
For balance-slb the results shouldn't be as obviously bad, but balance-slb
is definitely not designed considering that situation, so this commit
generalizes the advice across balance-slb also.
