>> in 'bond_ethdev_stop', resources are free by the corresponding mode.

>> For example, 'bond_ethdev_start' start bond_mode_8023ad_ext_periodic_cb

>> If the bonding mode is changed(not 4), and directly quit the process,
>> the timer will still on, and freed memory will be accessed, then 
>> segmentation fault.

>> ***********
>> That is just one bug for doing that, any bugs such as

>> When we want to use 'bond_ethdev_mode_set', we should do like that
>> order:
>> bond_ethdev_stop
>> bond_ethdev_mode_set
>> bond_ethdev_start
>>
>> Because 'bonding mode'changed means resources changed, we should
>> reallocate resources for different mode.

>> What is your opinion? wish your reply.
