[PATCH v3 11/13] ataflop: remove ataflop_probe_lock mutex

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel at i-love.sakura.ne.jp>

Commit bf9c0538e485b591 ("ataflop: use a separate gendisk for each media
format") introduced ataflop_probe_lock mutex, but forgot to unlock the
mutex when atari_floppy_init() (i.e. module loading) succeeded. This will
result in double lock deadlock if ataflop_probe() is called. Also,
unregister_blkdev() must not be called from atari_floppy_init() with
ataflop_probe_lock held when atari_floppy_init() failed, for
ataflop_probe() waits for ataflop_probe_lock with major_names_lock held
(i.e. AB-BA deadlock).

__register_blkdev() needs to be called last in order to avoid calling
ataflop_probe() when atari_floppy_init() is about to fail, for memory for
completing already-started ataflop_probe() safely will be released as soon
as atari_floppy_init() released ataflop_probe_lock mutex.

As with commit 8b52d8be86d72308 ("loop: reorder loop_exit"),
unregister_blkdev() needs to be called first in order to avoid calling
ataflop_alloc_disk() from ataflop_probe() after del_gendisk() from
atari_floppy_exit().

By relocating __register_blkdev() / unregister_blkdev() as explained above,
we can remove ataflop_probe_lock mutex, for probe function and __exit
function are serialized by major_names_lock mutex.
