[PATCH v2 1/2] block: make __register_blkdev() return an error
From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 18:08:34 EST
This makes __register_blkdev() return an error, and also changes the
probe() call to return an error as well.
We expand documentation for the probe call to ensure that if the block
device already exists we don't return on error on that condition. We do
this as otherwise we loose ability to handle concurrent requests if the
block device already existed.
