Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of positive integers. A function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ is said to be bonza if

$f(a)$ divides $b^{a} - f(b)^{f(a)}$

for all positive integers $a$ and $b$. Determine the smallest real constant $c$ such that $f(n) \leq cn$ for all bonza functions $f$ and all positive integers $n$.
