no behavioral change. For a builtin subsys, we won't run into the if block and have module_pin_failed be set.

I don't think this is bad. The block layer code does the similar thing in elevator_get().

And we call module_put() unconditionally in rebind_subsys().

It's already guaranteed the passing @cgrp is zeored. that's why cgrp->flags is not explicitly initialized here.
