mtd: core: fix possible resource leak in init_mtd()
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: core: fix possible resource leak in init_mtd()
I got the error report while inject fault in init_mtd():
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/mtd-0' Call Trace:

kobject_add_internal failed for mtd-0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Error registering mtd class or bdi: -17
If init_mtdchar() fails in init_mtd(), mtd_bdi will not be unregistered, as a result, we can't load the mtd module again, to fix this by calling bdi_unregister(mtd_bdi) after out_procfs label.
