This "+ 1" was actually meant as "plus one". We need to ensure that

slave->last_arp_rx + msecs_to_jiffies(bond->params.arp_interval)

is strictly less than current value of jiffies. So with proposed
definition of msecs_to_jiffies_min() it works correctly but if the
implementation ever changes in such way that

msecs_to_jiffies_min(x) >= msecs_to_jiffies(x)

for some value of x, the code would be incorrect.
