similar to: [PATCH v4 19/42] virtio_blk: fix race at module removal

If a device appears while module is being removed, driver will get a callback after we've given up on the major number. In theory this means this major number can get reused by something else, resulting in a conflict. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

In theory this means this major number can get reused by something else, resulting in a conflict. To fix, cleanup in reverse order of initialization. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Rusty, currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers on larger installations. This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> ---

Do not unregister the major at device remove, since there might be another device instances around.
