[PATCH][bonding] Restore compatibilty with old ifenslave (resend)

[Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The patch below restores compatibility that was removed during the
propagation set. That set added the ability to set the bond's
hardware address in the conventional way using SIOCSIFHWADDR but
also removed support for the very old way using BOND_SETHWADDR,
which, although has been removed from the ifenslave code for years,
turns out to still be in use in the ifenslave binary of recent
distributions (we got the complaint from an RH9 user).

The patch applies on 2.4.23-pre7.

Jeff, please apply this patch soon so that 2.4.23 won't be released
with a bug that breaks compatibility.
