Subject: media: mc: mark the media devnode as registered from the, start
Author:  Hans Verkuil <[email protected]>

First the media device node was created, and if successful it was marked as 'registered'. This leaves a small race condition where an application can open the device node and get an error back because the 'registered' flag was not yet set.

Change the order: first set the 'registered' flag, then actually register the media device node. If that fails, then clear the flag.

Fixes cf4b9211b568 ("[media] media: Media device node support")
