net: bonding: Unsync device addresses on ndo_stop


Netdev drivers are expected to call dev_{uc,mc}_sync() in their
ndo_set_rx_mode method and dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() in their ndo_stop method.
This is mentioned in the kerneldoc for those dev_* functions.

The bonding driver calls dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() during ndo_uninit instead of
ndo_stop. This is ineffective because address lists (dev->{uc,mc}) have
already been emptied in unregister_netdevice_many() before ndo_uninit is
called. This mistake can result in addresses being leftover on former bond
slaves after a bond has been deleted; see test_LAG_cleanup() in the last
patch in this series.

Add unsync calls, via bond_hw_addr_flush(), at their expected location,
bond_close().
Add dev_mc_add() call to bond_open() to match the above change.

v3:
* When adding or deleting a slave, only sync/unsync, add/del addresses if
  the bond is up. In other cases, it is taken care of at the right time by
  ndo_open/ndo_set_rx_mode/ndo_stop.
