bonding: initial RCU conversion

This patch does the initial bonding conversion to RCU. After it the
following modes are protected by RCU alone: roundrobin, active-backup,
broadcast and xor. Modes ALB/TLB and 3ad still acquire bond->lock for
reading, and will be dealt with later. curr_active_slave needs to be
dereferenced via rcu in the converted modes because the only thing
protecting the slave after this patch is rcu_read_lock, so we need the
proper barrier for weakly ordered archs and to make sure we don't have
stale pointer. It's not tagged with __rcu yet because there's still work
to be done to remove the curr_slave_lock, so sparse will complain when
rcu_assign_pointer and rcu_dereference are used, but the alternative to use
rcu_dereference_protected would've created much bigger code churn which is
more difficult to test and review. That will be converted in time.

1. Active-backup mode
 1.1 Perf recording while doing iperf -P 4
  - old bonding: iperf spent 0.55% in bonding, system spent 0.29% CPU
                 in bonding
  - new bonding: iperf spent 0.29% in bonding, system spent 0.15% CPU
                 in bonding
 1.2. Bandwidth measurements
  - old bonding: 16.1 gbps consistently
  - new bonding: 17.5 gbps consistently

2. Round-robin mode
 2.1 Perf recording while doing iperf -P 4
  - old bonding: iperf spent 0.51% in bonding, system spent 0.24% CPU
                 in bonding
  - new bonding: iperf spent 0.16% in bonding, system spent 0.11% CPU
                 in bonding
 2.2 Bandwidth measurements
  - old bonding: 8 gbps (variable due to packet reorderings)
  - new bonding: 10 gbps (variable due to packet reorderings)

Of course the latency has improved in all converted modes, and moreover
while
doing enslave/release (since it doesn't affect tx anymore).

Also I've stress tested all modes doing enslave/release in a loop while
transmitting traffic.
