bonding: Convert miimon to new locking
Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for failover events. In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other locks. The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as needed. This patch provides the high level portion. As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to do conditional locking. A first pass inspects all slaves to determine if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL) is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation may have changed when all locks were released).
