media: em28xx: initialize refcount before kref_get



The commit 47677e51("[media] em28xx: Only deallocate struct
em28xx after finishing all extensions") adds kref_get to many init
functions (e.g., em28xx_audio_init). However, kref_init is called too
late in em28xx_usb_probe, since em28xx_init_dev before will invoke
those init functions and call kref_get function. Then refcount bug
occurs in my local syzkaller instance.

Fix it by moving kref_init before em28xx_init_dev. This issue occurs
not only in dev but also dev->dev_next.
