Subject: bonding: fix locking in sysfs primary/active selection
From: Jay Vosburgh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Fix the functions that store the primary and active slave options via sysfs to
hold the correct locks in the correct order.

The bond_change_active_slave and bond_select_active_slave functions both
require rtnl, bond->lock for read and curr_slave_lock for write_bh, and no
other locks.  This is so that the lower level mode-specific functions (notably
for balance-alb mode) can release locks down to just rtnl in order to call,
e.g., dev_set_mac_address with the locks it expects (rtnl only).
