Add bond_ether_setup helper which is used to fix ether_setup() calls in the
bonding driver. It takes care of both IFF_MASTER and IFF_SLAVE flags, the
former is always restored and the latter only if it was set.
If the bond enslaves non-ARPHRD_ETHER device (changes its type), then
releases it and enslaves ARPHRD_ETHER device (changes back) then we
use ether_setup() to restore the bond device type but it also resets its
flags and removes IFF_MASTER and IFF_SLAVE[1]. Use the bond_ether_setup
helper to restore both after such transition.

[1] reproduce (nlmon is non-ARPHRD_ETHER):
 $ ip l add nlmon0 type nlmon
 $ ip l add bond2 type bond mode active-backup
 $ ip l set nlmon0 master bond2
 $ ip l set nlmon0 nomaster
 $ ip l add bond1 type bond
 (we use bond1 as ARPHRD_ETHER device to restore bond2's mode)
 $ ip l set bond1 master bond2
 $ ip l sh dev bond2
 37: bond2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether be:d7:c5:40:5b:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 minmtu 68 maxmtu 1500
 (notice bond2's IFF_MASTER is missing)
