[10/11] bdi: register sysfs bdi device only once per queue

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

commit f1d0b063d993527754f062c589b73f125024d216 upstream.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.

On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.

This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add a WARN_ON so we know which drivers are misbehaving]
