Hi Jay, Jakub,

I remember why I use bond_for_each_slave_rcu() here now. In commit
9b80ccda233f ("bonding: fix missed rcu protection"), I added the
rcu_read_lock() as syzbot reported[1] the following path doesn't hold
rtnl lock.
- sock_setsockopt
  - sock_set_timestamping
    - sock_timestamping_bind_phc
      - ethtool_get_phc_vclocks
        - __ethtool_get_ts_info
	  - bond_ethtool_get_ts_info
