	As a practical matter, though, I don't think the
ndo_get_xmit_slave path can actually hit the issue, as that looks to
only be called from Infiniband, which is only supported in bonding for
active-backup mode.

	My only concern is that this will waste a percpu u32 per bond
device for the majority of bonding use cases (which use modes other than
balance-rr), which could be a few hundred bytes on a large machine.

	Does everything work reliably if the rr_tx_counter allocation
happens conditionally on mode == BOND_MODE_ROUNDROBIN in bond_setup, as
well as in bond_option_mode_set?
