      bonding: use neighbours instead of own lists
      
      Veaceslav Falico says:
      
      ====================
      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.

      net: create sysfs symlinks for neighbour devices · 5831d66e
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Also, remove the same functionality from bonding - it will be already done
      for any device that links to its lower/upper neighbour.
      
      The links will be created for dev's kobject, and will look like
      lower_eth0 for lower device eth0 and upper_bridge0 for upper device
      bridge0.

      net: expose the master link to sysfs, and remove it from bond · 842d67a7
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Currently, we can have only one master upper neighbour, so it would be
      useful to create a symlink to it in the sysfs device directory, the way
      that bonding now does it, for every device. Lower devices from
      bridge/team/etc will automagically get it, so we could rely on it.
      
      Also, remove the same functionality from bonding.
