net/core: add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event

Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch
by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the
netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the
RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER)
always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same
ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring
tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.
