bonding: fix panic when taking bond interface down before removing module

[backport of 2.6 commit ce39a800ea87c655de49af021c8b20ee323cb40d]

A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to
remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down.
When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens:

    bond_close()
        bond_alb_deinitialize()
            tlb_deinitialize()
                kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl)
                bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL

Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the
module the following happens:

    bonding_exit()
        bond_free_all()
            bond_release_all()
                bond_alb_deinit_slave()
                    tlb_clear_slave()
                        tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl
                        u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next

As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the
table that no longer exists.

I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to
tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to
be part of the bond_close routine.  It also didn't seem logical move
tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a
check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the
tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table
entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.
