Merge branch 'alb_learning'
Veaceslav Falico says:
====================
bonding: use correct ether type for alb
There have been reports that, while using the ETH_P_LOOP ether type
(0x0060), the ether type is treated as its packet length.
To avoid that and to not break already existing apps - add new ether type
ETH_P_LOOPBACK that contains the correct id - 0x9000.
====================
