Greg Kroah-Hartman 19051c5035 mm: bdi: fix race in bdi_class device creation ...

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_vargs().

Many thanks to Arthur Jones <ajones@riverbed.com> for reporting the bug,
and testing patches out.
