It's better to send notifications to userspace by the events in rtnetlink_event, instead of calling rtmsg_ifinfo directly.
This patcheset is to remove rtmsg_ifinfo called in bonding, the notifications can be handled by NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE events in rtnetlink_event. It could also fix some redundant notifications from bonding.
