I did not had time to verify my thought yet but I think that the only
think needed against my original patch (bonding: move processing of recv
handlers into handle_frame()) is ro remove vlan_on_bond_hook, period.

Because all incoming arps are seen by bond_handle_frame =>
bond->recv_probe , even vlan ones - that would make eth0-bond0-bond0.5
work and eth0-bond0-br0-bond0.5 as well. But again, need to verify this.
