Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: fix kernel crash when devlink reload during initialization

The devlink reload process will access the hardware resources,
but the register operation is done before the hardware is initialized.
So, processing the devlink reload during initialization may lead to kernel
crash.

This patch fixes this by registering the devlink after
hardware initialization.
