Subject: [PATCH net v2] rtnl/bond: don't send rtnl msg for unregistered iface

Before the patch, the command 'ip link add bond2 type bond mode 802.3ad'
causes the kernel to send a rtnl message for the bond2 interface, with an
ifindex 0.

'ip monitor' shows:
0: bond2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER> mtu 1500 state DOWN group default
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
9: bond2@...E: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
    link/ether ea:3e:1f:53:92:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[snip]

First, nobody seems to care about NETDEV_CHANGEINFODATA (commit
d4261e565000 says that it was put only to notify userspace). Hence, we can
call directly rtmsg_ifinfo().
Secondly, prevent in rtnetlink_event() to send notifications to userspace
about unregistered interfaces.

Fixes: d4261e565000 ("bonding: create netlink event when bonding option is changed")

v2: check dev->reg_state instead of ifindex
    call rtmsg_ifinfo() directly in __bond_opt_set()

There is about 20 occurences of "dev->reg_state .= NETREG_REGISTERED".
I will send a patch on net-next to introduce an helper for this when net
will be merged with this patch in net-next.
