[ Upstream commit f25191bb322dec8fa2979ecb8235643aa42470e1 ]

The following traceback is sometimes seen when booting an image in qemu:

The only sensible explanation is that cdrom_sysctl_register() is called
twice, once from the module init function and once from register_cdrom().
cdrom_sysctl_register() is not mutex protected and may happily execute
twice if the second call is made before the first call is complete.

Use a static atomic to ensure that the function is executed exactly once.
