Subject: [PATCH V4 2/10] IB/ipoib: Notify the world before doing unregister

When the bonding device enslaves IPoIB devices it takes pointers to
functions in the ib_ipoib module. This is fine as long as the ib_ipoib
nodule remains loaded while the references to its functions exist.
So, to help bonding do a cleanup on time, when the IPoIB net device is a 
slave of a bonding master, let the master know that the IPoIB device is
about to unregister (but before calling unregister).
