[ +0.006129] BUG: unable to handle kernel
While create the first raid disk, we hide first raid disk's PD devices
(remove sdx device), but leave the bdi device in kernel, we won't call
bdi_unregister() in del_gendisk. So if we cancal the raid, and create
second raid disk, kernel try to register the bdi device again, then
the warning calltrace dump, bcause the bdi device already exist in kernel.
This patch check the bdi device state before register a new bdi device,
avoid register a registered bdi device again.
-v2: remove the spin lock protect, because the sd_probe caller should
guarantee the scsi_device valid, and the bdi device is unregister
when scsi_device/block queue removed.
