I have this same issue. I'm trying to delete the bond0 so I can create a new one and I get kfree+168 on the LCD. Same thing if I just try to modify the bond. WTF? How about some reliefe from this nonsense?
I am running the latest 6.10.2
Hopefully it's on the list of things to be fixed.
One thing you could try is doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu. That will
- reset the network to default settings (no bonding, MTU=1500, dhcp)
- change the admin password back to password
- disable volume quota (can be changed back on the volume settings wheel)
See pages 28-29 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
FWIW, the RN100 series performance is mostly limited by it's relatively slow processor and memory. There's not a lot of performance gain to be had with bonding. I'd just use it with one ethernet connection myself.

Oddly 6.9.5 didn't show up for me under stable release which is why I went for the Beta, unfortunately the 6.10 one so no way back.
Have already tried unplugging cables but seems to make no difference, found a similar issue on an old thread (Link bellow) around bonded nics but creating rather than removing or altering, seemed to be fixed for them in 6.9.3, wondering if the issue may of crept back in but gone unnoticed or be linked to any fix that may of been implemented for this.

It takes a while before they put a new release on the update server. You should have simply manually installed it.
Anyway, you are 6.10.x now. Hopefully OOM-9 will see this and respond.
