RDMA/device: Fix a race between mad_client and cm_client init

The mad_client will be initialized in enable_device_and_get(), while the
devices_rwsem will be downgraded to a read semaphore. There is a window
that leads to the failed initialization for cm_client, since it can not
get matched mad port from ib_mad_port_list, and the matched mad port will
be added to the list after that.

list_add_tail(&port_priv->port_list, &ib_mad_port_list)

                  |

Fix it by using down_write(&devices_rwsem) in ib_register_client().
