[Patch net] bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave

[Patch net] bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave

[Cong Wang]

As Hongjun/Nicolas summarized in their original patch:

"
When a device changes from one netns to another, it's first unregistered,
then the netns reference is updated and the dev is registered in the new
netns. Thus, when a slave moves to another netns, it is first
unregistered. This triggers a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event which is caught by
the bonding driver. The driver calls bond_release(), which calls
dev_set_mtu() and thus triggers NETDEV_CHANGEMTU (the device is still in
the old netns).
"

This is a very special case, because the device is being unregistered
no one should still care about the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event triggered
at this point, we can avoid broadcasting this event on this path,
and avoid touching inetdev_event()/addrconf_notify() path.

It requires to export __dev_set_mtu() to bonding driver.
