This warning is because the notifier call is happening with spin
locks held.

You can't do this here; the driver is holding various spin
locks, and notifier calls can sleep (hence the warning). If you look at
the bond_change_active_slave function, it drops all locks other than
RTNL before making a notifier call, e.g.,
void bond_change_active_slave(struct bonding *bond, struct slave *new_active)
{
[...]
if (bond->params.mode == BOND_MODE_ACTIVEBACKUP) {
[...]
write_unlock_bh(&bond->curr_slave_lock);
read_unlock(&bond->lock);
netdev_bonding_change(bond->dev, NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER);
read_lock(&bond->lock);
write_lock_bh(&bond->curr_slave_lock);
}
You may be able to add your notifier to this case, or change
your handler to notice the _FAILOVER notifier.

This case will have the same problem, but will only be hit if a
user does a manual "ifenslave -c bond0 ethX".
You also probably wanted to do the sysfs path, but if the
notifier goes into the change_active_slave function itself, then I don't
think additional notifications would be necessary.
