Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: bonding: use atomic instead of rtnl_mutex, to make sure peer notify updated

Using atomic to protect the send_peer_notif instead of rtnl_mutex.
This approach allows safe updates in both interrupt and process
contexts, while avoiding code complexity.

In LACP mode, the RTNL might be locked, preventing ad_cond_set_peer_notif
from acquiring the lock and updating send_peer_notif. This patch addresses
the issue by using a atomic. Since updating send_peer_notif does not
require high real-time performance, such atomic updates are acceptable.
