Subject: bonding: fix destruction of bond with devices different from
 arphrd_ether

commit 06f6d1094aa0992432b1e2a0920b0ee86ccd83bf upstream.

When the bonding is being unloaded and the netdevice notifier is
unregistered it executes NETDEV_UNREGISTER for each device which should
remove the bond's proc entry but if the device enslaved is not of
ARPHRD_ETHER type and is in front of the bonding, it may execute
bond_release_and_destroy() first which would release the last slave and
destroy the bond device leaving the proc entry and thus we will get the
following error (with dynamic debug on for bond_netdev_event to see the
events order):

Thus remove the proc entry manually if bond_release_and_destroy() is
used. Because of the checks in bond_remove_proc_entry() it's not a
problem for a bond device to change namespaces (the bug fixed by the
Fixes commit) but since commit
f9399814927ad ("bonding: Don't allow bond devices to change network
namespaces.") that can't happen anyway.
