writeback: cleanup bdi_register
This patch makes sure we first initialize everything and set the BDI_registered
flag, and only after this we add the bdi to 'bdi_list'. Current code adds the
bdi to the list too early, and as a result I the
WARN(!test_bit(BDI_registered, &bdi->state)
in bdi forker is triggered. Also, it is in general good practice to make things
visible only when they are fully initialized.
Also, this patch does few micro clean-ups:
1. Removes the 'exit' label which does not do anything, just returns. This
allows to get rid of few braces and 'ret' variable and make the code smaller.
2. If 'kthread_run()' fails, remove the error code it returns, not hard-coded
'-ENOMEM'. Theoretically, some day 'kthread_run()' can return something
else. Also, in case of failure it is not necessary to set 'bdi->wb.task' to
NULL.
