With a virtual machine behind a bridge that directly incorporates a
balance-alb bond as one of its ports, outgoing traffic should retain the
VM's source MAC. That works fine most of the time, until doing a failover,
and then the MAC gets rewritten to the bond slave's MAC, and the return
traffic gets dropped. If we don't rewrite the MAC there, we don't lose the
traffic.
