[PATCH net-next v2 1/4] bonding: Handle notifications during work-queue processing gracefully

[Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com>]

RTNL is required for sending notifications and if rtnl can not be
acquired, current code skips sending notification. This is especially
bad if the monitoring values selected are large.

This patch adds a bitmask and uses a bit per such work-queue and attempts
to reschedule the work (aggressively) until notifications are sent out and
then resumes the regular cycle.
