kobject_add_internal failed for mtd-0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory.
Error registering mtd class or bdi: -17
If init_mtdchar() fails in init_mtd(), mtd_bdi will not be unregistered,
as a result, we can't load the mtd module again, to fix this by calling
bdi_unregister(mtd_bdi) after out_procfs label.
Fixes: 445caaa20c4d ("mtd: Allocate bdi objects dynamically")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
