[PATCH 066/102] bonding: remove already created master sysfs link on failure

[Luis Henriques]

3.5.7.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9fe16b78ee17579cb4f333534cf7043e94c67024 upstream.

If slave sysfs symlink failes to be created - we end up without removing
the master sysfs symlink. Remove it in case of failure.
