Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/7] bonding: 3ad: clean up curr_slave_lock usage

Remove the read_lock in bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv() since when the slave is
being released its rx_handler is removed before 3ad unbind, so even if
packets arrive, they won't see the slave in an inconsistent state.

Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...hat.com>

v2: Only remove the curr_slave_lock from bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv, leave it in
    bond_3ad_state_machine_handler
