If the kernel reports ENOBUFS while sending the arp package, we do not want to treat this as a fatal error. But we also don't want to accept ENOBUFS forever.
The previous retry value of 3 wasn't sufficient, as the kernel reports "up & running" for an interface with underlying
bonding in 802.3ad mode to early (bsc#1218668) and returns ENOBUFS in attempts to send a package over this link.
With the new default value of 10, we give the driver a minimum amount of at least 6s to accept packages.
