commit d47a5dc2888fd1b94adf1553068b8dad76cec96c upstream. There is no valid case for supporting duplicate pseudoflavor registrations. Currently the silent acceptance of such registrations is hiding a bug. The rpcsec_gss_krb5 module registers 2 flavours but does not unregister them, so if you load, unload, reload the module, it will happily continue to use the old registration which now has pointers to the memory were the module was originally loaded. This could lead to unexpected results. So disallow duplicate registrations.

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.
