If system has bondX and bondXY, then command "ifup/ifdown bondX" can enable/disable both of bondX and bondXY at same time.
Issue
If system has multiple network bonding devices which has similar names ( e.g. the name of one bonding device is a sub-string of name of another bonding device), then both bonds would be up or down when the first one is up or down by ifup/ifdown commands.
Here is the steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a system with network bonding device bondTest and bondTest1
2. Use ifup or ifdown command on bondTest,
# ifup bondTest
3. Will observe both of bondTest and bondTest1 are up.
4, Expected results: only bondTest SHOULD be brought up and no change on bondTest1.
