== SRU Justification ==
A stack dump happens when unregistering a netdev.  The specific reproducer 
is listed in the bug description.  

This bug is fixed by mainline commit f51048c3e07b68c90b21a77541fc4b208f9244d7 and is a clean cherry pick.  

Commit f51048c3e07b68c90b21a77541fc4b208f9244d7  is in mainline, but not tagged for a specific release as of yet.

== Fix ==

    bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave

== Regression Potential ==
This fix is needed in all Ubuntu releases and needed in the networking subsystem.  

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
