bonding: fix potential deadlock in bond_uninit()

bond_uninit() is invoked with rtnl_lock held, when it does destroy_workqueue()
which will potentially flush all works in this workqueue, if we hold rtnl_lock
again in the work function, it will deadlock.

So move destroy_workqueue() to destructor where rtnl_lock is not held any more,
suggested by Eric.
