Subject: [PATCH] bond: Don't set skb->queue_mapping in netpoll.

From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@...bao.com>

When we are using netpoll, we don't go through the normal
transmit process. In this case, bond_select_queue is not called
and qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->slave_dev_queue_mapping isn't set.

So when netpoll_send_skb_on_dev calls ndo_start_xmit and we
enter bond_dev_queue_xmit, we will set skb->queue_mapping to
an invalid value and in some cases cause the driver panic the
kernel(We meet with bnx2 panic because of a very large queue_mapping).

This patch skip skb->queue_mapping if we find we are in netpoll.
