bonding: fix locking in bond_ab_arp_prob
After the latest patches, on every call of bond_ab_arp_probe() without an
active slave I see the following warning:
[ 7.912314] RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (4494)

It happens because in bond_ab_arp_probe() we change the flags of a slave
without holding the RTNL lock.
To fix this - remove the useless curr_active_lock, RCUify it and lock RTNL
while changing the slave's flags. Also, remove bond_ab_arp_probe() from
under any locks in bond_ab_arp_mon().
