Return -EEXIST when a notifier callback has already been registered on a notifier chain. This should avoid any homegrown registration tracking at the callsite like https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20210512013058.6827-1-mukul.joshi@amd.com for example. This version is an alternative of https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211108101157.15189-1-bp@alien8.de which needed to touch every caller not checking the registration routine's return value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
