Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: bonding: Use per-cpu rr_tx_counter

The round-robin rr_tx_counter was shared across CPUs leading to
significant cache thrashing at high packet rates. This patch switches
the round-robin packet counter to use a per-cpu variable to decide
the destination slave.

On a test with 2x100Gbit ICE nic with pktgen_sample_04_many_flows.sh
(-s 64 -t 32) the tx rate was 19.6Mpps before and 22.3Mpps after
this patch.

"perf top -e cache_misses" before:
    12.31%  [bonding]       [k] bond_xmit_roundrobin_slave_get
    10.59%  [sch_fq_codel]  [k] fq_codel_dequeue
     9.34%  [kernel]        [k] skb_release_data
after:
    15.42%  [sch_fq_codel]  [k] fq_codel_dequeue
    10.06%  [kernel]        [k] __memset
     9.12%  [kernel]        [k] skb_release_data
