[ Upstream commit ff598081e5b9d0bdd6874bfe340811bbb75b35e4 ]
The pointer to mdev_bus_compat_class is statically defined at the top
of mdev_core, and was originally (commit 7b96953bc640 ("vfio: Mediated
device Core driver") serialized by the parent_list_lock. The blamed
commit removed this mutex, leaving the pointer initialization
unserialized. As a result, the creation of multiple MDEVs in parallel
(such as during boot) can encounter errors during the creation of the
sysfs entries, such as:

Move the initialization of the mdev_bus_compat_class pointer to the
init path, to match the cleanup in module exit. This way the code
in mdev_register_parent() can simply link the new parent to it,
rather than determining whether initialization is required first.

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.
