[PATCH net-next 1/1] veth: Support bonding events

[Alexandra Winter <wintera@linux.ibm.com>]

Bonding drivers generate specific events during failover that trigger
switch updates.  When a veth device is attached to a bridge with a
bond interface, we want external switches to learn about the veth
devices as well.
