bonding: allow nesting of bonding device
The commit 3c9ef511b9fa ("bonding: avoid adding slave device with IFF_MASTER flag") fix a crash when add slave device with IFF_MASTER, but it rejects the scenario of nested bonding device. As Eric Dumazet described: since there indeed is a usage scenario about nesting bonding, we should not break it. So we add a new judgment condition to allow nesting of bonding device.
