When "primary_reselect" is set to "failure", primary interface should not become active until current active slave is up. But if we set first member of bond device as a "primary" interface and "primary_reselect" is set to "failure" then whenever primary interface's link get back(up) it become active slave even if current active slave is still up.
With this patch, "bond_find_best_slave" will not traverse members if primary interface is not candidate for failover/reselection and current active slave is still up.
