3.16.7-ckt24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Gabriel de Perthuis <g2p.code@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d7076f21629f8f329bca4a44dc408d94670f49e2 upstream.

Allows to use register, not register_quiet in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.
The initial patch proposed at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549 by Gabriel de Perthuis
<g2p.code@xxxxxxxxx> does not unlock the mutex and hangs the kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594 for the discussion.
