Subject: [PATCH] bonding: extend bond_arp_send_all to bridge devices

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 also check if a device is also in a bridge.

This is related to the following issues:

Thanks to help from Andy Gospodarek.
