Subject: [PATCH] bonding: reset queue mapping prior to transmission to physical device (v2)

The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy.  However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue

Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero.  This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.
