Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] bonding: lock RTNL when setting (in)active slave flags

Currently, on (in)active slave flag change, we notify the stack via
rtmsg_ifinfo(), which implies that we should hold the RTNL lock.

However, in bond_ab_arp_probe(), in case we don't have curr_active_slave -
we don't hold it, which issues a warning and might race with other slave
flags modifications.

Fix this by wrapping the changing in RTNL lock - it's not a hot path (runs
every arp_interval) - so no speed issues should arrive.
