Subject: [PATCH 4/7] bonding: release slaves when master removed via sysfs

	Add a call to bond_release_all in the bonding netdev event
handler for the master.  This releases the slaves for the case of, e.g.,
"echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters", which otherwise will spin
forever waiting for references to be released.
