Commit bf9c0538e485b591 ("ataflop: use a separate gendisk for each media
format") introduced ataflop_probe_lock mutex, but forgot to unlock the
mutex when atari_floppy_init() (i.e. module loading) succeeded. If
ataflop_probe() is called, it will deadlock on ataflop_probe_lock mutex.

To m68k users
This patch suggests that nobody is testing this module using a real hardware.
Can somebody test this module?
Is current m68k hardware still supporting Atari floppy?
If Atari floppy is no longer supported, do we still need this module?
To Christoph Hellwig and Luis Chamberlain
If we move __register_blkdev() in atari_floppy_init() to the end of
atari_floppy_init() and move unregister_blkdev() in atari_floppy_exit() to
the beginning of atari_floppy_exit(), we can remove unregister_blkdev() from
atari_floppy_init(), and I think we can also remove ataflop_probe_lock mutex
because probe function and __exit function are serialized by major_names_lock
mutex.
