[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] net/bonding: fix possible null pointer reference

[Declan Doherty]

In function check_for_bonded_ethdev the driver name is used without
validating the pointer references in the passed ethdev object.

Fixes: 740feaf349b1 ("ethdev: remove driver name from device private data")
