This is the wrong way to fix it. The real problem here is that the NIC
doesn't send NETDEV_CHANGE when it changes its speed/duplex. Try finding
out why it doesn't and fix it.

And, as Ben mentioned earlier, bond_update_speed_duplex() can sleep, and
thus should not be called from atomic context. Take a look at the caller -
bond_mii_monitor() - the bond_miimon_inspect() is under bond->lock, for a
good reason.

For reference, see the patch 876254ae2758d50dcb08c7bd00caf6a806571178
("bonding: don't call update_speed_duplex() under spinlocks") - it
specifically removes the _update_speed_duplex() from _miimon_commit().
