It seems like you are going to a lot of trouble to fix a bug where
netpoll will not be setup on any interface that is down when enslaved.
That seems to be the only path that would not have slave->np setup
properly at enslavement.

Did you ever try just this?

diff --git a/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c b/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
index 0592e6d..8d93044 100644
--- a/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
+++ b/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c

read_lock(&bond->lock);
bond_for_each_slave(bond, slave, i) {
- if (!IS_UP(slave->dev))
- continue;
err = slave_enable_netpoll(slave);
if (err) {
__bond_netpoll_cleanup(bond);
