If bond_release is run against an interface which is already detached from
it's master, then there is an error message shown like
	"<master name> cannot release <slave name>".

The call path is:
	bond_do_ioctl()
		bond_release()
			__bond_release_one()

Though it does not really harm, the message the message is misleading.
This patch tries to avoid the message.

Functionally this patch is fine, but I would prefer that you simply
change the check in __bond_release_one to not be so noisy.  There is a
check[1] in bond_enslave to see if a slave is already in a bond and that
just prints a message of netdev_dbg (rather than netdev_err) and it
seems that would be appropriate for this type of message.

[1] from bond_enslave():

        /* already enslaved */
        if (slave_dev->flags & IFF_SLAVE) {
                netdev_dbg(bond_dev, "Error: Device was already enslaved\n");
                return -EBUSY;
        }

agree ,use netdev_dbg looks more better and enough.

Hi Andy and Ding,

Thanks for your reviews!
In the ioctl path, removing a interface that is not currently actually a 
slave
can happen from user space(by mistake), we should avoid the noisy message.

While, __bond_release_one() has another call path which is from 
bond_uninit().
In the later case, it should be treated as an error if the interface is 
not with
IFF_SLAVE flag. To notice that error occurred, the message is printed. I 
think
the message is needed for this path.

How do you think?

thanks,
wengang

Just like the bond_enslave(), it is only a warning.
