    mtd: don't WARN about overloaded users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call · f8479dd6

    There are multiple types of users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call:
    
    (1) A while back, the cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} chip drivers implemented a
    reboot notifier to (on a best effort basis) attempt to reset their flash
    chips before rebooting.
    
    (2) More recently, we implemented a common _reboot() hook so that MTD
    drivers (particularly, NAND flash) could better halt I/O operations
    without having to reimplement the same notifier boilerplate.
    
    Currently, the WARN_ONCE() condition here was written to handle (2), but
    at the same time it mis-diagnosed case (1) as an already-registered MTD.
    Let's fix this by having the WARN_ONCE() condition better imitate the
    condition that immediately follows it. (Wow, I don't know how I missed
    that one.)
    
    (Side note: Unfortunately, we can't yet combine the reboot notifier code
    for (1) and (2) with a patch like [1], because some users of (1) also
    use mtdconcat, and so the mtd_info struct from cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} won't
    actually get registered with mtdcore, and therefore their reboot
    notifier won't get registered.)
