nvmem: core: fix registration vs use race

Browse Source 
The i.MX6 CPU frequency driver sometimes fails to register at boot time
due to nvmem_cell_read_u32() sporadically returning -ENOENT.

This happens because there is a window where __nvmem_device_get() in
of_nvmem_cell_get() is able to return the nvmem device, but as cells
have been setup, nvmem_find_cell_entry_by_node() returns NULL.

The occurs because the nvmem core registration code violates one of the
fundamental principles of kernel programming: do not publish data
structures before their setup is complete.

Fix this by making nvmem core code conform with this principle.
