Subject: [PATCH] bonding: add synchronize_net() after netdev_rx_handler_unregister

commit 00cfec3 (net: add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister())
add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to guarantee the
rx_handler is NULL when rx_handler_data is a non NULL in rcu_read_lock().

so the caller should not use netdev_rx_handler_unregister in atomic as it may
schedule and sleep, the bonding release met the problem.

the commit fcd99434f (bonding: get netdev_rx_handler_unregister out of locks)
fix the bug in bond release, but there is no action to guarantee the
rx_handler_data is NULL when bond release, so add synchronize_net() behind
netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to guarantee it.

This patch adds more comments to netdev_rx_handler_unregister(), as its more
reasonable.
