I'm not sure that bond_send_learning_packets() actually makes any sense
for balance_tcp.  It doesn't make sense to try to force the remote
switch to learn a MAC address if that MAC can appear on more than one
link, as happens with balance_tcp.

Could you add a comment to bond_hash_tcp() that we don't actually depend
on the symmetry property here?

Otherwise looks good to me, thank you.
