backing-dev: Handle class_create() failure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days. Basically sysfs would
fail to create new inodes since it uses an IDR and therefore class_create would
fail.

While we are unlikely to see this fail we may as well handle it instead of
oopsing.
