Suppose a Host has a pair of bonded NICs using `(Mode 1) Active-Backup`. Previously, the user clicked *Refresh Capabilities* to get the current status of this bonded pair. In the current release, if the active NIC changes, it refreshes the state of the bond in the Administration Portal and REST API. You do not need to click *Refresh Capabilities*.

Description of problem:
"Bond Active Slave" parameter on RHV-M GUI is showing an incorrect value in Active-Backup mode.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHV 4.2.8
How reproducible:
1. On a RHV host "Host1", the NICs "eno1" and "eno49" are bonded together as "bond0" in Active-Backup mode.
2) Unplug the network cable from the NIC ports to test the redundancy.
3) Before unplugging, both "eno1" and "eno49" shows up, Bond Active Slave is shown as "eno49" on both RHV-M and hypervisor command-line.
4) After unplugging "eno49", 'eno1' status is up and eno49 status is "down" on both RHV-M GUI and cli of the host. Bond Active Slave is (successfully) changed to "eno1" on host cli whereas the RHV-M still showing "eno49" as Bond Active Slave".
5) Even after 'ovirt-engine' service restart, the results are same.
Workaround:
- In RHV, "Refresh Capabilities" option on the host corrects the status of an active slave.
>>> Select host > Right click > Select Management > Refresh Capabilities.
