Subject: [PATCH 3.8-stable]  bonding: remove sysfs before removing devices

This patch looks like it should be in the 3.8-stable tree, should we apply
it?

------------------

From: "Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@...hat.com>"

commit 4de79c737b200492195ebc54a887075327e1ec1d upstream

We have a race condition if we try to rmmod bonding and simultaneously add
a bond master through sysfs. In bonding_exit() we first remove the devices
(through rtnl_link_unregister() ) and only after that we remove the sysfs.
If we manage to add a device through sysfs after that the devices were
removed - we'll end up with that device/sysfs structure and with the module
unloaded.

Fix this by first removing the sysfs and only after that calling
rtnl_link_unregister().
