Subject: bcache: allows use of register in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.

From: Gabriel de Perthuis <[email protected]>

commit d7076f21629f8f329bca4a44dc408d94670f49e2 upstream.

Allows to use register, not register_quiet in udev to avoid "device_busy" error. The initial patch proposed at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549 by Gabriel de Perthuis <[email protected]> does not unlock the mutex and hangs the kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594 for the discussion.
