mtd: core: fix possible resource leak in init_mtd()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: core: fix possible resource leak in init_mtd() I got the error report while inject fault in init_mtd(): sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/mtd-0' Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x67/0x83 sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x70 sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x109/0x120 kobject_add_internal+0xce/0x2f0 kobject_add+0x98/0x110 device_add+0x179/0xc00 device_create_groups_vargs+0xf4/0x100 device_create+0x7b/0xb0 bdi_register_va.part.13+0x58/0x2d0 bdi_register+0x9b/0xb0 init_mtd+0x62/0x171 [mtd] do_one_initcall+0x6c/0x3c0 do_init_module+0x58/0x222 load_module+0x268e/0x27d0 __do_sys_finit_module+0xd5/0x140 do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd </TASK> kobject_add_internal failed for mtd-0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
