[pve-devel] [PATCH ifupdown2 1/1] d/patches: fix issue when reloading bonds with altname slaves

When reloading the network configuration via ifupdown2 and a bond has
bridge-slaves defined with their altname, the bond would break after
reloading - then work again after every second reload.

The issue for this is that the port list is parsed directly via
parse_port_list, provided by the modulebase. This method doesn't do
any translation of altnames. This leads to a wrong detection of
pre-existing slave interfaces when reloading. ifupdown then tries to
enslave the interfaces with the 'real' name and un-enslave the
interfaces with the altname, leading to no interfaces being enslaved
to the bond at all.

Notes:
    Might want to hold off on applying this one until Christoph could take
    a closer look. While I couldn't find issues with bridge_ports and VLAN
    devices in my tests, both modules also use parse_port_list so I think
    a closer look is warranted as well for those invocations. This solves
    the bond issue on my test node at least.
