4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 03270c6ac6207fc55bbf9d20d195029dca210c79 upstream.
Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with
it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port
driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single
parallel port. And as a result we were having a nice warning like:
"sysctl table check failed:
/dev/parport/parport0/devices/ppdev0/timeslice Sysctl already exists"
Use the same logic as used in parport_register_device() and register
the proc files only once for each parallel port.
Fixes: 6fa45a226897 ("parport: add device-model to parport subsystem")
