bonding: Fix up parameter parsing

	A recent change to add an additional hash policy modified
bond_parse_parm, but it now does not correctly match parameters passed in
via sysfs.

	Rewrote bond_parse_parm to handle (a) parameter matches that
are substrings of one another and (b) user input with whitespace (e.g.,
sysfs input often has a trailing newline).
