Subject: [PATCH] bonding: set correct tx_queue_len for bond_dev

When we set bandwidth on bond_dev with htb, it's not precise.
Because the length of skb_buff queue is bigger than sch->limit
whose value is 0, some packets are dropped.
This leads to bond device can't make full use of the bandwidth
and influence the accuracy.

With htb, sch->limit is set from bond_dev->tx_queue_len which
is initialized to 0 in bond_setup.

To fix this issue, set the bond_dev's tx_queue_len to slave_dev's.

Example:
tc qdisc add dev bond0 root handle 1: htb default 1
tc class add dev bond0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 1Gbit ceil 1Gbit
iperf -c host -t 30 -i 10

With old bonding:
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   579 MBytes   486 Mbits/sec
[  3] 10.0-20.0 sec   604 MBytes   507 Mbits/sec
[  3] 20.0-30.0 sec   551 MBytes   462 Mbits/sec
[  3]  0.0-30.0 sec  1.69 GBytes   485 Mbits/sec

With new bonding:
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.11 GBytes   955 Mbits/sec
[  3] 10.0-20.0 sec  1.11 GBytes   955 Mbits/sec
[  3] 20.0-30.0 sec  1.11 GBytes   955 Mbits/sec
[  3]  0.0-30.0 sec  3.33 GBytes   955 Mbits/sec
