[PATCH v3 net-next] bonding: extend bond_arp_send_all to bridge devices

[Chris J Arges]

ARP monitoring does not work when we have a network in the
following configuration:

eth0----+ +----bond0.100----br0-100---{+virtual machines
          | |
          +----bond0----+----br0---(fixed IP)->--{LAN arp_ip_target}
          | |
eth1----+ +----bond0.200----br0-200---{+virtual machines

This patch extends bond_arp_send_all to check if a device
is also in a bridge.

This is related to the following issues:
