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.
