> 
> The `mp_cb_registered` flag shared between all processes was used to ensure
> that for any IB device (MLX5 common device) mempool event callback was
> registered only once and mempools that had been existing before the device
> start were traversed only once to register them.
> Since mempool callback registrations have become process-private, callback
> registration must be done by every process.
> The flag can no longer reflect the state for any single process.
> Replace it with a registration counter to track when no more callbacks are
> registered for the device in any process.
> It is sufficient to only register pre-existing mempools in the primary
> process because it is the one that starts the device.
