blspec depends on the return-current-path-when-mounted part you are
removing here. I added the following patch before applying this one.

Subject: [PATCH] blspec: Check if already mounted before mounting

cdev_mount_default() either mounts a cdev and returns the path it's
mounted to or directly returns the path when it already is mounted.
This will change in the next patch: When the cdev is already mounted
cdev_mount_default() will return -EBUSY instead. To let blspec
work when a cdev is already mounted check for the actual mount path
before trying to mount it.
