The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer
protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we have 3 ways to modify it:
1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe
to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock.
2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock().
3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to
bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored.
so I remove the bond->lock and add the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.
