Merge branch 'bonding-cleanups'

Nikolay Aleksandrov says:

====================
bonding: style, comment and assertion changes

This is a small and simple patch-set that doesn't introduce (hopefully) any
functional changes, but only stylistic and semantic ones.
Patch 01 simply uses the already provided __rlb_next_rx_slave function inside
rlb_next_rx_slave(), thus removing the duplication of code.
Patch 02 changes all comments that I could find to netdev style, removes
some outdated ones and fixes a few more small cosmetic issues (new line
after declaration, braces around if; else and such)
Patch 03 removes one extra ASSERT_RTNL() because we already have it in the
parent function and consolidates two other ASSERT_RTNL()s to the function
that is exported and supposed to be called with RTNL anyway.
====================
