Add bond_ether_setup helper which is used to fix ether_setup() calls in the
bonding driver. It takes care of both IFF_MASTER and IFF_SLAVE flags, the
former is always restored and the latter only if it was set.
If the bond enslaves non-ARPHRD_ETHER device (changes its type), then
releases it and enslaves ARPHRD_ETHER device (changes back) then we
use ether_setup() to restore the bond device type but it also resets its
flags and removes IFF_MASTER and IFF_SLAVE[1]. Use the bond_ether_setup
helper to restore both after such transition.
[1] reproduce (nlmon is non-ARPHRD_ETHER):
$ ip l add nlmon0 type nlmon
$ ip l add bond2 type bond mode active-backup
$ ip l set nlmon0 master bond2
$ ip l set nlmon0 nomaster
$ ip l add bond1 type bond
(we use bond1 as ARPHRD_ETHER device to restore bond2's mode)
$ ip l set bond1 master bond2
$ ip l sh dev bond2
37: bond2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether be:d7:c5:40:5b:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 minmtu 68 maxmtu 1500
(notice bond2's IFF_MASTER is missing)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
