bonding: fix lock ordering for rtnl and bonding_rwsem

Fix the handling of rtnl and the bonding_rwsem to always be acquired
in a consistent order (rtnl, then bonding_rwsem).

The existing code sometimes acquired them in this order, and sometimes
in the opposite order, which opens a window for deadlock between ifenslave
and sysfs.
