[2.x] MAAS should not set bond-lacp_rate in active-backup mode

[Nobuto Murata]

When configuring bond as active-backup through MAAS, the following /e/n/i will be written:

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
    bond-mode active-backup
    mtu 9000
    hwaddress ether <mac_address>
    bond-lacp_rate slow
    bond-xmit_hash_policy layer2
    bond-slaves none
    bond-miimon 100

bond-lacp and bond-xmit_hash_policy are unrelated to active-backup mode. MAAS should not write unrelated mode-specific configurations, IMO. Actually those are recorded as kernel log errors.

$ journalctl -k --priority=err | grep bond0
Mar 11 20:57:42 ubuntu kernel: bond0: option lacp_rate: mode dependency failed, not supported in mode active-backup(1)

Hi Nobuto,

Does this create any problem other than just displaying that message in the logs ?
