Subject: [PATCH 1/8][BONDING]: Do not call free_netdev for already registered
 device.

If the call to bond_create_sysfs_entry in bond_create fails, the
proper rollback is to call unregister_netdevice, not free_netdev.
Otherwise - kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:4057!

Checked with artificial failures injected into bond_create_sysfs_entry.
