There is no pointer needed read lock protection, remove the unnecessary lock
and improve performance for the 3ad recv path.

Improve performance by how much?  For example, by how much is service 
demand lower on a netperf TCP_STREAM or TCP_RR test through a bond.  I 
suppose that applies not only to this specific patch to to the set as a 
whole.
