netdev_ops_assert_locked is called for non-ops-locked netdev and we
trigger ASSERT_RTNL case. Which is a bit misleading, but I noticed that
bond_miimon_inspect is running under rcu lock, which is not
gonna work for ops-locked devices :-/ (we want to grab instance
lock for the CHANGE notifiers).

I'm contemplating dropping rcu and doing try_lock rtnl. Looking at
commit f0c76d61779b ("bonding: refactor mii monitor"), it doesn't look
like there were issues with rtnl performance, so hopefully should be ok.

Because from my resent patches I remember this trace:

    [ 3456.660039]  ipv6_find_idev+0x96/0xe0

    [ 3456.663112]  linkwatch_do_dev+0x5a/0x70

Where linkwatch_do_dev (potentially called from ethtool_op_get_link and
bond_check_dev_link) might trigger ipv6 address assignment so I'm not
sure how this all supposed to work under rcu and without rtnl lock.
