Vincent Bernat 07a4ddec3c bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications
Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon'
milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay
through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'.

Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of
`miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration
logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default
value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should
be used to configure this feature.

When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can
observe the 500 ms delay is respected:

    20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28

In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable.
The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to
lower the value of `bond->send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is
only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the
counter each time.

iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new
attribute through `ip link'.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
