You can't call atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() while in atomic context.

Fix, call un/register_atmdevice_notifier in module __init and __exit.

Feel free to add

Reported-and-tested-by: Mikko Vinni <mmvinni@yahoo.com>

Seems to be fixed as advertized, i.e., nothing suspicious appeared in
the logs when opening/closing connection, killing br2684ctl, or
loading/unloading the br2684 module.


Thanks

Mikko
