Subject: bonding: remove print in bond_verify_device_path
From: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 486058f42a4728053ae69ebbf78e9731d8ce6f8b upstream.
As suggested by Paolo in link[1], if the memory allocation fails, the mm
layer will emit a lot warning comprising the backtrace, so remove the
print.
