notifier: Return an error when a callback has already been registered

Browse source 
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.
