Subject: [patch net-next v2 13/28] net: introduce change lower state notifier

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...lanox.com>

When lower device like bonding slave, team/bridge port, etc changes its
state, it is useful for others to notice this change. Currently this is
implemented specificly for bonding as NETDEV_BONDING_INFO notifier. This
patch aims to replace this specific usage and make this more generic to
be used for all upper-lower devices.

Introduce NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE netdev notifier type and
netdev_lower_state_changed() helper.
