Subject: bonding: RCUify bond_set_rx_mode()
From: Veaceslav Falico <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit b32418705107265dfca5edfe2b547643e53a732e ]
Currently we rely on rtnl locking in bond_set_rx_mode(), however it's not
always the case:
RTNL: assertion failed at drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c (3391)

...
Fix this by using RCU primitives.
