[PATCH] net/bonding: set initial value of descriptor count alignment

[Ivan Malov]

The driver had once been broken by patch [1] looking to have
a non-zero "nb_max" value in a use case not involving adding
any back-end ports. That was addressed afterwards ([2]). But,
as per report [3], similar test cases exist which attempt to
setup Rx queues on a void bond before attaching any back-end
ports. Rx queue setup, in turn, involves device info get API
invocation, and one of the checks on received data causes an
exception (division by zero). The "nb_align" value is indeed
zero at that time, but, as explained in [2], such test cases
are totally incorrect since a bond device must have at least
one back-end port plugged before any ethdev APIs can be used.

Once again, to avoid any problems with fixing the test cases,
this patch adjusts the bond PMD itself to workaround the bug.
