bonding: fix locking during alb failover and slave removal
alb_fasten_mac_swap (actually rlb_teach_disabled_mac_on_primary) requries RTNL and no other locks. This could cause dev_set_promiscuity and/or dev_set_mac_address to be called with improper locking. Changed callers to hold only RTNL during calls to alb_fasten_mac_swap or functions calling it. Updated header comments in affected functions to reflect proper reality of locking requirements.
