The bound flag in ecm_opts is being set to true even if gether_register_netdev() failed. Move the assignment of ecm_opts->bound to after the success check to ensure the flag only reflects the true state. The race condition on this flag is not a concern because the caller, configfs_composite_bind(), binds functions sequentially.
