[PATCH] floppy: register the block major after the disks are added

[Denis Efremov (Oracle)]

do_floppy_init() registers the block major, and with it floppy_probe(),
before it has detected the controllers and added disks[drive][0]. Once
a controller is found, opening a device node for another media format
makes floppy_probe() add disks[drive][type]. If init then fails, the
error path removes only disks[drive][0] and frees the tag sets, leaving
the probed disks registered on top of freed memory.

add_disk() does not need the major, so register it last. floppy_probe()
can then only run once init has succeeded.
