RDMA/device: Don't fire uevent before device is fully initialized

Browse source

When the refcount is 0 the device is invisible to netlink. However in the
patch below the refcount = 1 was moved to after the device_add().  This
creates a race where userspace can issue a netlink query after the
device_add() event and not see the device as visible.

Ensure that no uevent is fired before device is fully registered.
