Upstream commit 1f718f0f4f97 ("bonding: populate neighbour's private on
enslave") undoes the fix provided by commit c2edacf80e15 ("bonding / ipv6: no
addrconf for slaves separately from master") by effectively setting
the slave flag after the slave has been opened.  If the slave comes up quickly
enough, it will go through the IPv6 addrconf before the slave flag has been
set and will get a link local IPv6 address.

Set IFF_SLAVE before dev_open() and clear it after dev_close() to ensure that
addrconf knows to ignore on state change.

Fixes: 1f718f0f4f97 ("bonding: populate neighbour's private on enslave")

	I think prepending "During bonding enslavement and removal
processing," (or the equivalent) makes the above sentence a bit clearer
as to what's going on.

	Will this change cause issues for user space monitoring of the
RTM_NEWLINKs, as now the message will have IFF_SLAVE in the flags for
both the "link" and "unlink" cases?  How would link be distinguished
from unlink?

	Since the unlink happens only in __bond_release_one or in the
case of a failure within bond_enslave, does clearing the flag in
bond_upper_dev_unlink cause any actual issues?

Oops.  You are correct that the RTM_NEWLINK would appear to be identical to
the link case.  I had originally done this to prevent any NETDEV_CHANGE events
from causing the link local address and subsequent neighbor advertisements just
as the device is unlinked.  However, the bond_upper_dev_unlink() changes were a
result of speculation, not actual observation.

If we feel that we are safe from any NETDEV_CHANGE events and/or the
consequences during unlink, I am fine with leaving the bond_upper_dev_unlink()
code as-is.

	I looked briefly, and I don't see a source of NETDEV_CHANGE
notifiers between the bond_upper_dev_unlink and dev_close calls in
__bond_release_one.  Note that dev_set_promiscuity / allmulti do end up
in __dev_notify_flags, but it excludes NETDEV_CHANGE for PROMISC and
ALLMULTI, so I think that's not an issue.
