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.

v3  -> v4:
Per the feedback received, fix the comments to be kernel-doc style.
As Ben Hutchings suggested, make the 'get next private after a
specific private' function bonding-specific - it has virtually no uses
outside bonding (and even in bonding I already have some patches of
removing it).
Also, remove the stupid 'bool upper' logic from everywhere in the logic -
as Ben suggested, it's easier to pass the lists directly - and not only
easier, it saved several hundred lines of code modified.
Finally, make netdev_for_each_lower_private() safe for removal of the
current member - it can be easily achieved and doesn't really need two
versions, as in lists.

v2  -> v3:
Fix the commit subject for patch 08 - forgot the _continue in
bond_for_each_slave_continue_reverse(), suggested by Cong Wang.
This version is already ready for the inclusion, hopefully.
Moved the changelog in cover letter to the bottom and cleaned it
up a bit.

v1  -> v2:
Fix a bug when we could remove try to remove a neighbour twice - it was
possible if we've had this neighbour already and added another devices
which had this neighbour in its lists. Fix it by following the rule - there
can be only one neighbour link, so add also _remove_neighbour() functions
to the generic _remove()s to handle the neighbour only removing, and fix
its refcounting while adding (all in patch 01).
Also, fix a vlan bug when it called unregister netdevice before unlinking -
it could possibly lead to a subte race condition - cause it was
unregistered but still in global-accessible list.
Rearrange sysfs/vlan patches so that first we fix vlan and only after we
add sysfs stuff.

RFC -> v1:
I've added proper, consistent naming for all variables/functions, uninlined
some helpers to get better backtraces, just in case (overhead is minimal,
no hot paths), rearranged patches for better review, dropped bondings
->prev and bond_for_each_slave_continue() functionality - to be able to
RCUify it easier, and renamed slave_* sysfs links to lower_* sysfs links to
maintain upper/lower naming. I've also dropped, thanks to bonding cleanup,
some heavy and ugly/intrusive patches.
