bonding: refine IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability
Some workloads greatly benefit of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability
on output net device, avoiding dirtying dst refcount.
bonding currently disables IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE unconditionally.
If all slaves have the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE bit set, then
bonding master can also have it in its priv_flags
