[ Upstream commit 4bc60736154bc9e0e39d3b88918f5d3762ebe5e0 ]
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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
