3.11.10.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay at redhat.com>

commit b869ccfab1e324507fa3596e3e1308444fb68227 upstream.

This patch fixes two race conditions between bond_store_updelay/downdelay
and bond_store_miimon which could lead to division by zero as miimon can
be set to 0 while either updelay/downdelay are being set and thus miss the
zero check in the beginning, the zero div happens because updelay/downdelay
are stored as new_value / bond->params.miimon. Use rtnl to synchronize with
miimon setting.
