Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/10] bonding: rebuild the lock use for bond_mii_monitor()

The bond_mii_monitor() still use bond lock to protect bond slave list,
it is no effect, I have 2 way to fix the problem, move the RTNL to the
top of the function, or add RCU to protect the bond_has_slaves() and
bond_miimon_inspect(), according to the Jay Vosburgh's opinion, 10 times
one second is a truely big performance loss if use RTNL to protect the
whole function, so I would take the advice and use RCU to protect the
two functions, of course it need to add more modify, the
bond_has_slave_rcu() is add for RCU use, and the bond_for_each_slave
need to replace with bond_for_each_slave_rcu in bond_miimon_inspect.

I move the peer notify before the queue_delayed_work(), and obviously
it is no need to lock the RTNL twice if call bond_miimon_commit() and
peer notify together, other path is no logic change, I think the
performance is better than before.
