[ Upstream commit 7e1b1fc4 ] Modules which register drivers via standard path (driver_register) in parallel can cause a warning: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3492 at ../fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/saa7146/drivers' Modules linked in: hexium_gemini(+) mxb(+) ... ...

As can be (mostly) seen, driver_register causes this call sequence: -> bus_add_driver -> module_add_driver -> module_create_drivers_dir The last one creates "drivers" directory in /sys/module/<...>. When this is done in parallel, the directory is attempted to be created twice at the same time. This can be easily reproduced by loading mxb and hexium_gemini in parallel: while :; do modprobe mxb & modprobe hexium_gemini wait rmmod mxb hexium_gemini saa7146_vv saa7146 done saa7146 calls pci_register_driver for both mxb and hexium_gemini, which means /sys/module/saa7146/drivers is to be created for both of them. Fix this by a new mutex in module_create_drivers_dir which makes the test-and-create "drivers" dir atomic. I inverted the condition and removed 'return' to avoid multiple unlocks or a goto.
