Revert "bdi: add error handle for bdi_debug_register"
This reverts commit a0747a859ef6d3cc5b6cd50eb694499b78dd0025. It breaks some booting for some users, and more than a week into this, there's still no good fix. Revert this commit for now until a solution has been found. Reported-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com> Reported-by: Bruno Wolff III <bruno@wolff.to> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
