The patch was tested and seems to fix the problem 

To reproduce with a simulation of a lost gratuitous
Host A pings constantly Host B. Both hosts with bonding interface (ib0 and ib1 as slaves)

Host B: ifconfig ib0 down
Host B: ifconfig ib1 down
Host A: ifconfig ib0 down
Host A: ifconfig ib1 down
Host B: ifconfig ib0 up
Host B: ifconfig ib1 up
Host A: ifconfig ib0 up
Host A: ifconfig ib1 up

Now, even when all interfaces are up and functioning, ping is not being replied.
