Karsten Keil 39984a9fad [PATCH] bonding: fix deadlock on high loads in bond_alb_monitor()
In bond_alb_monitor the bond->curr_slave_lock write lock is taken
and then dev_set_promiscuity maybe called which can take some time,
depending on the network HW. If a network IRQ for this card come in
the softirq handler maybe try to deliver more packets which end up in
a request to the read lock of bond->curr_slave_lock -> deadlock.
This issue was found by a test lab during network stress tests, this patch
disable the softirq handler for this case and solved the issue.
