Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] bonding: fix bond_3ad_set_carrier() RCU usage

Currently, its usage is just plainly wrong. It first gets a slave under
RCU, and, after releasing the RCU lock, continues to use it - whilst it can
be freed.

Fix this by ensuring that bond_3ad_set_carrier() is either under RCU read
lock or under the RTNL lock (bond_set_carrier() always holds it).

Fixes: be79bd048ab ("bonding: add RCU for bond_3ad_state_machine_handler()")
