3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Clay McClure <clay@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit a51a0c8d213594bc094cb8e54aad0cb6d7f7b9a6 upstream. Similar to commit 714fb87e8bc0 ("ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev"), we should make the volume active before registering it.
