Subject: [PATCH 4.7 163/186] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev

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

------------------

From: Iosif Harutyunov <iharutyunov@...icWALL.com>

commit 714fb87e8bc05ff78255afc0dca981e8c5242785 upstream.

Install the UBI device object before we arm sysfs.
Otherwise udev tries to read sysfs attributes before UBI is ready and
udev rules will not match.
