bonding: set random address only when slaves already exist

[ Upstream commit 35ae4e86292ef7dfe4edbb9942955c884e984352 ]

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.

Fixes: 5c3bf6cba791 ("bonding: assign random address if device address is same as bond")
