Merge branch 'bonding_neighbours'

bonding: use neighbours instead of own lists

Veaceslav Falico says:

====================
This patchset introduces all the needed infrastructure, on top of current
adjacent lists, to be able to remove bond's slave_list/slave->list. The
overhead in memory/CPU is minimal, and after the patchset bonding can rely
on its slave-related functions, given the proper locking. I've done some
netperf benchmarks on a vm, and the delta was about 0.1gbps for 35gbps as a
whole, so no speed fluctuations.

It also automatically creates lower/upper and master symlinks in dev's
sysfs directory.
====================
