ARP Monitoring does not work when the bond has a VLAN which is a member of a bridge and shows a continuously increasing link failure count

Issue

• ARP Monitoring appears to fail when a bond is stacked with a VLAN and a bridge.
  For example if a bridge is configured on top of bondX interface(with ARP link monitoring) then the issue isn't observed, its only observed if a bridge is configured on top of bondX.vlan interface (with ARP link monitoring).

• The bond's MII Status for each slave persistently shows going back.

• Depending on the exact version of the bonding driver, each slave's Link Failure Count continuously increases.

• This issue affects topologies such as the following where the IP address is assigned to the bridge interface (br0 below) and a VLAN of the bond is attached to the bridge:

                                              |     bridge     |
  [ slave eth0 ] -\                           |                |
                   >- [ bond0 ] - [ VLAN bond0.10 ]       [ br0 10.0.0.10/24 ]
  [ slave eth1 ] -/                           |                |
