Subject: [PATCH net-next] bonding,vlan: propagate MAC failover changes to VLANs


	With bonding's fail_over_mac=active, during failover the MAC
address of the bond itself changes to match that of the slave.

	This patch adds a notifier call to cause VLANs stacked atop the
bonding to also change their MAC addresses to the new address when a
failover occurs.

	While it is legal for a VLAN to have a MAC address that differs
from the underlying device, at least one device (qeth) that requires the
use of fail_over_mac for bonding cannot handle the VLAN's MAC differing
from that of the bond; thus, it needs the MAC change to propagate up
to any VLANs when fail_over_mac is set to active.
