bonding: set random address only when slaves already exist

Browse Source 
After commit 5c3bf6cba791 ("bonding: assign random address if device
address is same as bond"), bonding will erroneously randomize the MAC
address of the first interface added to the bond if fail_over_mac =
follow.

Correct this by additionally testing for the bond being empty before
randomizing the MAC.
