I think both:
- unregister to make sure userspace can't access the files when the driver
  is unloading, because the _remove() is the only thing that actually
  synchronizes with parallel read/write() and waits for those to finish.
  Really don't want to hand-roll that, it's a lot more tricky than the
  "are we registered already" check :-)

- As cleanup for the case we never registered, and hence
  drm_dev_unregister wont be called.

I guess if you make both the exact same function and that unconditionally
(any checks needed within that function) it hopefully aviods the
not-registered error path from bitrotting.
