bonding: alb: remove curr_slave_lock
First in rlb_teach_disabled_mac_on_primary() it's okay to remove curr_slave_lock as all callers except bond_alb_monitor() already hold RTNL, and in case bond_alb_monitor() is executing we can at most have a period with bad throughput (very unlikely though). In bond_alb_monitor() it's okay to remove the read_lock as the slave list is walked with RCU and the worst that could happen is another transmitter at the same time and thus for a period which currently is 10 seconds (bond_alb.h: BOND_ALB_LP_TICKS). And bond_alb_handle_active_change() is okay because it's always called with RTNL. Removed the ASSERT_RTNL() because it'll be inserted in the parent function in a following patch.
