Subject: [RFC 00/12] block: *add_disk*() driver conversions __register_blkdev()

This is the 4th group of driver conversion examples. This set is
complete, as there are only a few drivers which use __register_blkdev().
The __register_blkdev() call uses an optional probe call, and if set
will be used when blk_request_module() is called for the block device.
Since these probe calls can fail, now that we added *add_disk*() error
handling, take advatage of this and extend the probe call to capture
the errors.

There are only a few drivers which benefit from this. The meat of the
work is the last patch, which includes all driver conversions. The rest
of the patches are adding add_disk() error handling in the other
places of the drivers.

Luis Chamberlain (12):
  floppy: fix add_disk() assumption on exit
  floppy: use blk_cleanup_disk()
  floppy: add error handling support for add_disk()
  scsi/sd: use blk_cleanup_queue() insted of put_disk()
  scsi/sd: add error handling support for add_disk()
  scsi/sr: use blk_cleanup_disk() instead of put_disk()
  scsi/sr: add error handling support for add_disk()
  block/ataflop: use the blk_cleanup_disk() helper
  block/ataflop: add a helper for removing disks
  block/ataflop add error handling support for add_disk()
  block/brd: add error handling support for add_disk()
  block: make probe in blk_request_module() return an error
