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.
