[PATCH net-next] bonding: don't init workqueues on error

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Tue Dec 10 2019 - 10:25:06 EST


bond_create() initialize six workqueues used later on. In the unlikely
event that the device registration fails, these structures are initialized
unnecessarily, so move the initialization out of the error path.
Also, create an error label to remove some duplicated code.
