From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@xxxxxxxxxx> This commit fixes some issues with File-backed Storage Gadget error recovery when registering LUN's devices. First of all, when device_register() fails the device still needs to be put. However, because lun_release() decreases fsg->ref reference counter the counter must be incremented beforehand. Second of all, after any of the device_create_file()s fails, device_unregister() is called which in turn (indirectly) calls lun_release() which decrements fsg->ref. So, again, the reference counter must be incremented beforehand. Lastly, if the first or the second device_create_file() succeeds, the files are never removed. To fix it, device_remove_file() needs to be called. This is done by simply marking LUN as registered prior to creating files so that fsg_unbind() can handle removing files.

This is, I believe, a correct one. It also fixes the problem with device files not being removed (as described in commit message); not sure if the latter is a big issue though.
