[PATCH net-next v2] bonding: remove bonding_priv.h

[Breno Leitao]

bonding_priv.h only defined DRV_NAME and DRV_DESCRIPTION, but caused
unnecessary recompilation: it included <generated/utsrelease.h> to
define bond_version, which is used solely in bond_procfs.c. With
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y, utsrelease.h is regenerated on every git
commit, so any git operation triggered recompilation of bond_main.c
which also included bonding_priv.h.

Remove the header entirely, as suggested by Jakub, given the macros on
this file can be integrated into the C files directly.
