Leon Romanovsky 919d13a7e4 devlink: Set device as early as possible
All kernel devlink implementations call to devlink_alloc() during
initialization routine for specific device which is used later as
a parent device for devlink_register().

Such late device assignment causes to the situation which requires us to
call to device_register() before setting other parameters, but that call
opens devlink to the world and makes accessible for the netlink users.

Any attempt to move devlink_register() to be the last call generates the
following error due to access to the devlink->dev pointer.

[    8.758862]  devlink_nl_param_fill+0x2e8/0xe50
[    8.760305]  devlink_param_notify+0x6d/0x180
[    8.760435]  __devlink_params_register+0x2f1/0x670
[    8.760558]  devlink_params_register+0x1e/0x20

The simple change of API to set devlink device in the devlink_alloc()
instead of devlink_register() fixes all this above and ensures that
prior to call to devlink_register() everything already set.
