mlxsw: core: Register devlink instance before sub-objects



Recent changes made it possible to register the devlink instance before
its sub-objects and under the instance lock. Among other things, it
allows us to avoid warnings such as this one [1]. The warning is
generated because a buggy firmware is generating a health event during
driver initialization, before the devlink instance is registered.

Move the registration of the devlink instance to the beginning of the
initialization flow to avoid such problems.

A similar change was implemented in netdevsim in commit 82a3aef2
("netdevsim: move devlink registration under the instance lock").
