If failed to allocate "tags" or could not find the final upper device from
start_dev's upper list in bond_verify_device_path(), only the loopback
detection of the current upper device should be affected, and the system is
no need to be panic.

	This seems reasonable enough, although I'd suggest the using
WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON.  Alternatively, this could stay as
WARN_ON if the above also returns non-zero in order to terminate the
netdev_walk_all_upper_dev_rcu walk.  The intent here is to avoid
spamming the log if there's a lot of macvlans above the bond.  If the
allocation in bond_verify_device_path failed, trying again immediately
seems likely to fail as well.

	We could also arrange for whatever called alb_upper_dev_walk to
reschedule at a slightly later time, but I don't think that's worth the
trouble.  The bond will by default resend learning packets once per
second, so issues related to a lost learning packet should resolve
relatively quickly.

Hi Jay:
	Thank you for your reply. I do agree with you. I will send v2.
