[PATCH] fix ifenslave to not fail on lack of IP information

[Neil Horman]

The current version of ifenslave fails to attach slave interfaces to a bond if
the masters doesn't have appropriate IP information.  While its common for
bonded interface to have IP information its not required (bond as part of a
bridge for instance).  This patch modifies ifenslave to not fail if IP
information is not available in the master at the time of enslaving.

Neil
