Hi Mahesh,
I think this should be targeted at net-next (and it actually applies there). I
also think you may be able to drop the spinlock as the
bond_alb_handle_link_change() function and its callers are always run under
RTNL, now I'm not 100% sure about this, it would require a more thorough check
but an ASSERT_RTNL at the correct spot could be useful to make sure and convert
anything left, in any case I'm okay as it is now too, this is merely a suggestion.

A few small nitpicks below. I'll give it a spin and if anything pops up will get
back to you.

Thanks for doing this, I like it :-)

Please leave a blank line between local variable definition and the code.

All bonding xmit functions already run in rcu, so this is not really necessary.
