[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bonding: set dev_started later

[Chas Williams]

No.  This was fixed by

    net/bonding: clear started state if start fails

    There are several error paths where the bonding device may not start.
    Clear dev_started before we return if we take one of these paths.

    Fixes: 2efb58cbab6e ("bond: new link bonding library")

which was less clumsy attempt at the fix.
