[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] bond: Change rebalance ratio to be more fair

[Zoltan Kiss]

The old algorithm tries to converge to 0, despite it would mean a very
unbalanced situation. 1 is a more desirable goal. Fortunately rebalancing never
worked, so this never caused a problem. But my previous patch needs it.
It was tested together with my previous patch.
