If sysfs is not available, you might still be able to create bond
interfaces, but only in very specific configurations, and you must have
the ifenslave binary instead to call ioctls.

If the kernel is NFS-booting, it is critical that we don't down the
slave interfaces when we activate the bond. To do so will break the root
filesystem when networking is temporarily lost.

The previous bonding change of ensuring interfaces were down to add
slave interfaces, but it clobbered the IFACE variable, because it was
being passed to a bash function rather than a command.

The old ifenslave binary forcibly set new slave interface to down before
adding into the kernel, as a way of show it's version to the kernel. We
need to duplicate this so that the kernel doesn't think it's an old
ifenslave version using the bonding setup interface.
