By the time rbd_dev_snaps_register() gets called during rbd device initialization, the main device will have already been registered. Similarly, a header refresh will only occur for an rbd device whose Linux device is registered. There is therefore no need to verify the main device is registered when registering a snapshot device. For the time being, turn the check into a WARN_ON(), but it can eventually just go away.
