[PATCHv3 net 1/3] bonding: set AD_RX_PORT_DISABLED when disabling a port

When disabling a port’s collecting and distributing states, updating only
rx_disabled is not sufficient. We also need to set AD_RX_PORT_DISABLED
so that the rx_machine transitions into the AD_RX_EXPIRED state.

One example is in ad_agg_selection_logic(): when a new aggregator is
selected and old active aggregator is disabled, if AD_RX_PORT_DISABLED is
not set, the disabled port may remain stuck in AD_RX_CURRENT due to
continuing to receive partner LACP messages.

The __disable_port() called by ad_disable_collecting_distributing()
does not have this issue, since its caller also clears the
collecting/distributing bits.

The __disable_port() called by bond_3ad_bind_slave() should also be fine,
as the RX state machine is re-initialized to AD_RX_INITIALIZE.

Let's fix this only in ad_agg_selection_logic() to reduce the chances of
unintended side effects.
