[Bug 1087876] [NEW] bond-primary must be set in slave interface

[Mark Hall]

slave inerfaces.

bond-master bond0
bond-primary eth1

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
bond-master bond0

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves eth1 eth2
bond-mode 1
bond-miimon 100

Primary interface is not set:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
bond-master bond0

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
bond-master bond0

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves eth1 eth2
bond-primary eth1
