Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: ARP monitor spams NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifiers

	 The bonding ARP monitor fails to decrement send_peer_notif, the
number of peer notifications (gratuitous ARP or ND) to be sent. This
results in a continuous series of notifications.

	Correct this by decrementing the counter for each notification.
