     bonding: don't hold lock when calling rtnl_unlock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     bonding-dont-hold-lock-when-calling-rtnl_unlock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: bonding: don't hold lock when calling rtnl_unlock
From: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

Change bond_mii_monitor to not hold any locks when calling rtnl_unlock,
as rtnl_unlock can sleep (when acquring another mutex in netdev_run_todo).

Bug reported by Makito SHIOKAWA <mshiokawa@miraclelinux.com>, who
included a different patch.
