    Currently it's disabled because it's sometimes hard, in typical configs, to
    make it work - because of the nature how the loadbalance modes work - as
    it's hard to deliver valid arp replies to correct slaves by the switch.
    
    However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other
    configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast
    domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a
    bit more) sure that the slave is up.
    
    So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also
    correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.
