Subject: BUG: bonding module can only be loaded once

In order to create multiple bonding dynamically, it is common practice to
load the bonding module multiple times.  This got broken in recent kernels
2.6.29 and later.

Doing the following will OOPS:
  modprobe -o bond0 bonding
  modprobe -o bond1 bonding

2.6.29 actually OOPS on error handling, but that is fixed in 2.6.30.
But 2.6.30 still has the regression (caused by sysfs).

This regression was introduced by changes to sysfs and proc that
made duplicate insertion a problem.
