Subject: [PATCH 3/7] bonding: fix locking during alb failover and slave removal

	alb_fasten_mac_swap (actually rlb_teach_disabled_mac_on_primary)
requries RTNL and no other locks.  This could cause dev_set_promiscuity
and/or dev_set_mac_address to be called with improper locking.

	Changed callers to hold only RTNL during calls to alb_fasten_mac_swap
or functions calling it.  Updated header comments in affected functions to
reflect proper reality of locking requirements.
