[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] vswitchd: Fix segmentation fault with bonded ports.

[Ethan Jackson]

In non-bonded ports the port->monitor is NULL so
netdev_monitor_destroy has no effect.  In the bonded case
port->monitor is non-NULL.  Destroying all of the interfaces before
removing the monitor was causing the monitor to be in an inconsistent
state which was causing it's destruction to segfault.
