bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to
zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can
be created via sysfs).
Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is
created to create and destroy files in net_class.
Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to
update the documentation.
