bonding 802.3ad: Fix the state machine locking v2
Changes since v1: * Clarify an unclear comment * Move a (possible) name change to a separate patch The ad_rx_machine, ad_periodic_machine and ad_port_selection_logic functions all inspect and alter common fields within the port structure. Previous to this patch, only the ad_rx_machines were mutexed, and the periodic and port_selection could run unmutexed against an ad_rx_machine trigged by an arriving LACPDU. This patch remedies the situation by protecting all the state machines from concurrency. This is accomplished by locking around all the state machines for a given port, which are executed at regular intervals; and the ad_rx_machine when handling an incoming LACPDU.
