[PATCH 1/2] net: move and rename netif_notify_peers()

[Cong Wang]

I believe net/core/dev.c is a better place for netif_notify_peers(),
because other net event notify functions also stay in this file.

And rename it to netdev_notify_peers().

[PATCH 2/2] net: remove netdev_bonding_change()

[Cong Wang]

I don't see any benifits to use netdev_bonding_change() than
using call_netdevice_notifiers() directly.

Is there a convention for using the 'netdev' vs 'netif' prefixes?
If not, I don't see the point in renaming just this one function.

The reason why I rename it is there are more functions named netdev_*
than netif_* in net/core/dev.c. Also given that netdev_bonding_change()
has netdev_ prefix too.

I don't have strong opinions on this.

Thanks.
