[PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 13/13] bonding/bond_alb.c: Apply rcu_access_pointer() to avoid sparse false positive

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <redacted>

The sparse checking for rcu_assign_pointer() was recently upgraded
to reject non-__kernel address spaces.  This also rejects __rcu,
which is almost always the right thing to do.  However, the use in
bond_alb_handle_active_change() is legitimate: It is assigning a pointer
to an element from an RCU-protected list, and all elements of this list
are already visible to caller.

This commit therefore silences this false positive by laundering the
pointer using rcu_access_pointer() as suggested by Josh Triplett.
