Tomasz Kulasek 734ce47f71 bonding: support RSS dynamic configuration
Bonding device implements independent management of RSS settings. It
stores its own copies of settings i.e. RETA, RSS hash function and RSS
key. It’s required to ensure consistency.

1) RSS hash function set for bonding device is maximal set of RSS hash
functions supported by all bonded devices. That mean, to have RSS support
for bonding, all slaves should be RSS-capable.

2) RSS key is propagated over the slaves "as is".

3) RETA for bonding is an internal table managed by bonding API, and is
used as a pattern to set up slaves. Its size is GCD of all RETA sizes, so
it can be easily used as a pattern providing expected behavior, even if
slaves RETA sizes are different.
