Can this ever trigger?  I don't see how these hash entries would end
up on the list iterated by choose_entry_to_migrate(), because
bond_rebalance() skips over entries that have tx_bytes == 0 and does
not add them to the bond_slave's list:

    for (e = &bond->hash[0]; e <= &bond->hash[BOND_MASK]; e++) {
        if (e->slave && e->tx_bytes) {
            e->slave->tx_bytes += e->tx_bytes;
            list_push_back(&e->slave->entries, &e->list_node);
        }
    }
