Subject: [patch for 2.6.25? 1/1] bonding: fix sysfs attribute handling

From: Libor Pechacek <lpechacek@...e.cz>

For bonding interfaces any attempt to read the sysfs directory contents after
module removal results in an oops.  The fix is to release sysfs attributes for
the interfaces upon module unload.
