Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] bonding: refuse to change bond type if it's used

It's not desirable to be able to change the type of net_device in bond device if
it's in use by bridge, or vlan, or so. At the moment, there is possible for
example to have INFINIBAND bond type in bridge (by adding bond with eth type to
a bridge first and then enslave INFINIBAND device).

This patch adds netdev_is_independent() function to check if device is not
"enslaved" and use this function to do the check before type change is performed.

>From now on, the type change is allowed only for those bond devices not used by
any other net dev.
