Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix bond_arp_rcv() race of curr_active_slave

bond->curr_active_slave can be changed between its deferences, even to
NULL, and thus we might panic.

We're always holding the rcu (rx_handler->bond_handle_frame()->bond_arp_rcv())
so fix this by rcu_dereferencing() it and using the saved.

Reported-by: Ding Tianhong <dingtianhong@...wei.com>
Fixes: aeea64a ("bonding: don't trust arp requests unless active slave really works")
