Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: check error value of register_netdevice() immediately

If register_netdevice() is failed, net_device should not be used
because variables are uninitialized or freed.
So, the routine should be stopped immediately.
But, bond_create() doesn't check return value of register_netdevice()
immediately. That will result in a panic because of using uninitialized
or freed memory.

Test commands:
    modprobe netdev-notifier-error-inject
    echo -22 > /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev/\
actions/NETDEV_REGISTER/error
    modprobe bonding max_bonds=3
