Re: [rfc | patch 0/6] netpoll: add support for the bonding driver

[Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>]

Initialize npinfo->rx_flags.  The way it stands now, this will have random
garbage, and so will incur a locking penalty even when an rx_hook isn't
registered and we are not active in the netpoll polling code.
