The bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame() when
a packet is received, but bond_close() sets it to NULL. So,
a panic occurs when both functions work in parallel.

Why this happen:
After null pointer check of bond->recv_probe, an sk_buff is
duplicated and bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame.
So, a panic occurs when bond_close() is called between the
check and call of bond->recv_probe.

Patch:
This patch uses a local function pointer of bond->recv_probe
in bond_handle_frame(). So, it can avoid the null pointer
dereference.

Sorry, I forgot to add my official ack. Even if not a perfect patch, its
a step into right direction.

	Looks reasonable.  Even if by some quirk of timing the
recv_probe function ends up being entered after bond_close has
completed, it doesn't look like there is a risk of those functions
misbehaving (because bond_close doesn't deallocate the data structures).
