[PATCH net-next] net: altera_tse: fix init sequence to avoid races with register_netdev

[Maxime Chevallier]

As reported here[1], the init sequence in altera_tse can be racy should
any operation on the registered netdev happen after netdev registration
but before phylink initialization.

Fix the registering order to avoid such races by making register_netdev
the last step of the probing sequence.
