[PATCH 13/15] aoeblk: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk

From: Fam Zheng <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-17 07:17:25
Also in: linux-block, linux-nvme, lkml
Subsystem: ata over ethernet (aoe) driver, block layer, the rest · Maintainers: "Justin Sanders", Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

Previously after device_add_disk returns, the KOBJ_ADD uevent is already
emitted. Adding attributes after that is a poor usage of kobject, and
in practice may result in race conditions with userspace, for
example udev checks availability of certain attributes and initializes
/dev entries conditionally.

device_add_disk can handle adding attribute group better, so use it.
