We didn't correctly check cases where the value for lp_interval is not
within the legal range due to a missing table terminator.

This would let userspace trigger a kernel panic by specifying a value out
of range:

	echo -1 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/bond0/bonding/lp_interval

Introduced by commit "bonding: add infrastructure for an option API".

Thanks!

One note though, the commit that introduces the problem is not that one.
It's 4325b374f84e59226851636df946f2500d0bfeba ("bonding: convert
lp_interval to use the new option API"), after that's corrected you
can add my:
