Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/10] net: add and export netdev_adjacent_get_private_rcu()

In bonding, the bond lock could not protect slave list any more,
the bond lock will be replace with RTNL or RCU, sometimes
bonding needs netdev_adjacent_get_private_rcu() to get a slave in
RCU protect, so add a new function and export it.
