Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: Fix header_ops type confusion

In bond_setup_by_slave(), the slave’s header_ops are unconditionally
copied into the bonding device. As a result, the bonding device may invoke
the slave-specific header operations on itself, causing
netdev_priv(bond_dev) (a struct bonding) to be incorrectly interpreted
as the slave's private-data type.

This type-confusion bug can lead to out-of-bounds writes into the skb,
resulting in memory corruption.

This patch adds two members to struct bonding, bond_header_ops and
header_slave_dev, to avoid type-confusion while keeping track of the
slave's header_ops.

Fixes: 1284cd3a2b740 (bonding: two small fixes for IPoIB support)
