[PATCH] bonding: fix multiple module load problem

[Stephen Hemminger]

Some users still load bond module multiple times to create bonding
devices.  This accidentally was broken by a later patch about
the time sysfs was fixed.  According to Jay, it was broken
by:
   commit b8a9787eddb0e4665f31dd1d64584732b2b5d051
   Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@xxxxxxxxxx>
   Date:   Fri Jun 13 18:12:04 2008 -0700

     bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero

Note: sysfs and procfs still produce WARN() messages when this is done
so the sysfs method is the recommended API.
