4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 97f3efb64323beb0690576e9d74e94998ad6e82a ] The hyper-v transparent bonding should have used master_dev_link. The netvsc device should look like a master bond device not like the upper side of a tunnel. This makes the semantics the same so that userspace applications looking at network devices see the correct master relationshipship.
