warning during mtd registration in 2.6.27-rc5

[Dmitry Baryshkov]

Hi,

Since commit abf5439370491dd6fbb4fe1a7939680d2a9bc9d4
I'm seeing this problem:

kobject (c3abad68): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.

....

This happens when adding mtd partitions. I've traced it to the fact that
mtd partition devices share the genhd queue with the whole chip block device.
Thus blk_register_filter receives the same pointer for the chip and for each
registered partition.
