Subject: [PATCH 1/4] bonding: Fix locking in 802.3ad mode

	The 802.3ad state machine lock can be acquired in both softirq and
not softirq context, but was not held at _bh to prevent a deadlock (which
could occur if a LACPDU arrived and was processed while the lock was
held).

	Corrected this, now hold the state machine lock at _bh to prevent
deadlock.

	Bug reported by Todd Fleisher <todd@...ish.org>.
