[PATCH] bond_main.c: fix device deregistration in init exceptionpath

[Florin Malita]

bond_init() is not releasing rtnl_sem after register_netdevice() and
before calling unregister_netdevice() (from bond_free_all()) in the
exception path. As the device registration is not completed
(dev->reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERING), the call to
unregister_netdevice() triggers BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED).
