I got the error report while inject fault in init_mtd():
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/mtd-0'

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")
