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

commit 4bc60736154bc9e0e39d3b88918f5d3762ebe5e0 upstream.
First the media device node was created, and if successful it was marked as 'registered'. This leaves a small race condition where an application can open the device node and get an error back because the 'registered' flag was not yet set.
Change the order: first set the 'registered' flag, then actually register the media device node. If that fails, then clear the flag.
