The ARP monitor functions currently acquire RTNL when performing failover operations, but do so incorrectly (out of order). This causes various warnings from might_sleep.
The ARP monitor isn't supported for any of the bonding modes that actually require RTNL, so it is safe to not hold RTNL when failing over in the ARP monitor.
