Subject: bonding: remove already created master sysfs link on failure
From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9fe16b78ee17579cb4f333534cf7043e94c67024 ]
If slave sysfs symlink failes to be created - we end up without removing
the master sysfs symlink. Remove it in case of failure.
