[PATCH 3/6] bond: Simplify bond_create.

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2009-10-30 00:18:41
Subsystem: bonding driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric W. Biederman <redacted>

Stop calling dev_get_by_name to see if the bond device already
exists.  register_netdevice already does that.

Stop calling bond_deinit if register_netdevice fails as bond_uninit
is guaranteed to be called if bond_init succeeds.
