Subject: [PATCH] bonding: init notify_work earlier to avoid uninitialized use

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

If bond_kobj_init() or later kzalloc() in bond_alloc_slave() fail,
then we call kobject_put() on the slave->kobj. This in turn calls
the release function slave_kobj_release() which will always try to
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&slave->notify_work), which shouldn't be
done on an uninitialized work struct.

Always initialize the work struct earlier to avoid problems here.

Syzbot bisected this down to a completely pointless commit, some
fault injection may have been at work here that caused the alloc
failure in the first place, which may interact badly with bisect.
