Bonding: force user to add HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX when get/set HWTSTAMP

When there is a failover, the PHC index of bond active interface will be
changed. This may break the user space program if the author didn't aware.

By setting this flag, the user should aware that the PHC index get/set
by syscall is not stable. And the user space is able to deal with it.
Without this flag, the kernel will reject the request forwarding to
bonding.
