When last slave of a bonding master is removed, the bonding then does not work.
At the time if packet_snd is called against with a master net_device, it calls
then header_ops->create which points to slave's header_ops. In case the slave
is ipoib and the module is unloaded, header_ops would point to invalid address.
Accessing it will cause problem.
This patch tries to fix this issue by moving ipoib_header_ops to vmlinux to keep
it valid even when ipoib module is unloaded.

Like others, I absolutely do not consider it sustainable to keep
moving header_ops implementations into the static kernel image.

We're just papering over the real problem, which is making sure all
dangling references to something really go away when we release/unload
an object.

Point it to a dummy set of ops and do a synchronize_net() or similar.

I'm not applying this patch, sorry.
