Subject: [PATCH] bonding: prevent deadlock on slave store with alb mode (v3)

This soft lockup was recently reported:

[root@...l-per715-01 ~]# echo +bond5 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
[root@...l-per715-01 ~]# echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond5/bonding/slaves
bonding: bond5: doing slave updates when interface is down.
bonding bond5: master_dev is not up in bond_enslave
[root@...l-per715-01 ~]# echo -eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond5/bonding/slaves

It occurs because we are able to change the slave configuarion of a bond while
the bond interface is down.  The bonding driver initializes some data structures
only after its ndo_open routine is called.  Among them is the initalization of
the alb tx and rx hash locks.  So if we add or remove a slave without first
opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a
spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock.

Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has
the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the
net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not
true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass
the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function.

Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to
the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path.

Change notes:
v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to
enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do.  As such
this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks
in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem.  We'll also
remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since
it should be safe

v3) Fix spelling error
