Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 3/11] bonding: rebuild the lock use for bond_alb_monitor()

From: Ding Tianhong <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 15:45:39 +0800

The bond_alb_monitor use bond lock to protect the bond slave list,
it is no effect here, we need to use RTNL or RCU to replace bond lock,
the bond_alb_monitor will called 10 times one second, RTNL may loss
performance here, so I replace bond lock with RCU to protect the
bond slave list, also the RTNL is preserved, the logic of the monitor
did not changed.
