	I believe so.  The lock is held here nominally to mutex
bonding's vlan_list.  The bond_add_vlans_on_slave function actually does
the lock and call to ndo_vlan_rx_register (plus one add_vid call per
configured VLAN); I think the call frame in the above stack has been
optimized out.

	For the specific cases of bond_add_vlans_on_slave and
bond_del_vlans_from_slave, we should be able to get away without holding
the bond->lock because we also hold RTNL, and it looks like all changes
to the vlan_list are implicitly mutexed by RTNL because all VLAN add /
remove for device or vid end up being done under RTNL.

	The cases within bonding that change the vlan_list will still
have to hold bond->lock, because other call sites within bonding check
the vlan_list without RTNL (and it would be impractical to have them do
so).

	The patch is as follows; I'm compiling this now to test.  If it
pans out, I'll post a formal submission in a bit.
