When we want to setup a bridge without a ip address, function
do_ifup will not activate the bridge.
We should make the bridge active, then vif-bridge can work on the
bridge.

If ${netdev} is bonding, brctl addif ${bridge} ${pdev} fails:
can't add ${pdev} to bridge ${bridge}: Invalid argument
Because ${pdev} has no slaves at this point.=20
# Notice that ifdown ${netdev} clears slaves of ${netdev}.
This patch restores slaves before add_to_bridge2 ${bridge} ${pdev}.

On RHEL5.2, ifup ${bridge} fails if ${bridge} != ${netdev},
because RHEL5.2's ifup ${bridge} runs the following sequence:
1. Search CONFIG that has the same mac address of ${bridge}.=20
ifcfg-${netdev} is found.
2. Run "ip link set dev ${netdev} up".
# ${bridge} is expected.
3. Output "Failed to bring up ${netdev}."
Because ${netdev} does not exist.
Thus, do_ifup() should not use ifup if ${bridge} != ${netdev}.
