Subject: [PATCH 3/6] bond: Simplify bond_create.

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...stanetworks.com>

Stop calling dev_get_by_name to see if the bond device already
exists.  register_netdevice already does that.

Stop calling bond_deinit if register_netdevice fails as bond_uninit
is guaranteed to be called if bond_init succeeds.
