If brd_alloc() from brd_probe() is called before brd_alloc() from brd_init() is called, module loading will fail with -EEXIST error. To close this race, call __register_blkdev() just before leaving brd_init(). Then, we can remove brd_devices_mutex mutex, for brd_device list will no longer be accessed concurrently.
