Styling nitpick: maybe re-arrange them longest -> shortest ?

Would've saved a couple of lines if we could move the rcu_read_lock inside the
if {} block but I know that you're keeping the bond_vlan_used() result here, but
I think that with the new functions we're covered i.e. if the vlan has
disappeared between the call to bond_vlan_used and the afterwards we'll get NULL
and just drop the packet, but this can be reworked to continue with the packet
without a vlan if one is not found that is to send it without tag :-)

This part really looks ambiguous, I've left a comment that concerns it in my
reply to patch 02.

Styling nitpick: if {} else {}
