Subject: [PATCH] bonding: clear header_ops when last slave detached (v2)

When last slave of a bonding master is removed, the bonding then does not work.
When packet_snd is called against with a master net_device, it accesses
header_ops. In case the header_ops is not valid any longer(say ipoib module
unloaded), it will then access an invalid memory address.
This patch try to fix this issue by clearing header_ops when last slave
detached.
