Note that IFLA_BOND_ACTIVE_SLAVE uses dev_net(dev) for
__dev_get_by_index().

Pass params as is as you did for ipvlan_link_new().

Same for macvtap_newlink().

nit: please keep the reverse xmas tree order.

you can define *tbp here and initialise it later.

  	struct nlattr *peer_tb[IFLA_MAX + 1], **tbp, *attr;

Use sock_net(skb->sk) directly here and remove net defined above,
which is no longer used in this function.
