This seems like it should be just:

	delta_in_ticks = msecs_to_jiffies(bond->params.arp_interval);

Assuming the interval is in milliseconds, based on the previous usage.
Since it's multiplying by HZ (ticks per second) and dividing by 1000 
(milliseconds per second), it was converting from milliseconds to ticks.

Same for the other changes?
