Thanks. I made a few style adjustments and applied it to master as
follows.

Subject: [PATCH] bond: Change rebalance ratio to be more fair
The old algorithm tries to converge to 0, despite it would mean a very
unbalanced situation. We're aiming for an ideal ratio of 1, meaning both
the 'from' and 'to' slave have the same load. Therefore, we only move an
entry if it decreases the load on 'from', and brings us closer to equal
traffic load.
