bonding: Fix netconsole to not deadlock on rmmod
Netconsole calls netpoll_cleanup on receipt of a NETDEVICE_UNREGISTER event. The notifier subsystem calls these event handlers with rtnl_lock held, which netpoll_cleanup also takes, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by calling the __netpoll_cleanup interior function instead, and fixing up the additional pointers. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
