Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bonding: fix incorrect transmit queue offset

Users noticed the following messages:

kernel: bond0 selects TX queue 16, but real number of TX queues is 16

were filling their logs when frames received from a device that
contained 16 input queues were being forwarded out of a bonded device.
Ben pointed out that the contents of skb->queue_mapping cannot be
directly mapped to a transmit queue, so I went with his suggestion for a
solution to the offset problem.

The function now also warns the user to increase the default value for
tx_queues if needed and returns a valid tx queue to dev_pick_tx.
