It would not segfault if you call rte_eth_dev_probing_finish() at the
real end of the probing function. Then the port will be considered not
valid in rte_eth_bond_8023ad_agg_selection_set().
It does not solve your problem but it is more correct.
So I suggest to revert this patch (which was a wrong fix):
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=1620175

Then the issue is to allow configuring a port before the end of probing.
This patch is workarounding the public API which checks port validity.
I think it is a good approach.
