Just tested and with 4.9.150, I am in fact unable to receive anything
on a backup link when listening to the active-backup master device or to
"any" device.

It makes PACKET_ORIGDEV works again. Moreover, when not binding to any
interface, we receive packets on both active and backup links. But when
binding to the master device, I only receive packets from the active
devices (which is the same behaviour than pre-4.12). When not binding to
any device and not using PACKET_ORIGDEV, one packet is said to be from
the master device and one packet is said to be from the backup device.
Previously, I had one packet from active device, one packet from backup
device and two packets from master device.

For me, this is a better situation than previously as we return to the
situation before 4.12 but you can get what you want by not binding to
any device _and_ using PACKET_ORIGDEV (otherwise, you are don't get the
right interface in all cases).

If it's unclear, I can provide more extensive results. I am using this
test program (comment the s.bind/s.setsockopt line if needed):

#v+
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
import socket
import datetime

socket.SOL_PACKET = 263
socket.PACKET_ORIGDEV = 9

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_PACKET,
                  socket.SOCK_RAW,
                  socket.htons(0x88cc))
s.bind(("bond0", 0))
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_PACKET, socket.PACKET_ORIGDEV, 1)
while True:
    data, addrinfo = s.recvfrom(1500)
    if addrinfo[2] == socket.PACKET_OUTGOING:
        continue
    print(f"{datetime.datetime.now().isoformat()}: "
          f"Received {len(data)} bytes from {addrinfo}")
