Leon Romanovsky e7a5b4aafd RDMA/device: Don't fire uevent before device is fully initialized
When the refcount is 0 the device is invisible to netlink. However in the
patch below the refcount = 1 was moved to after the device_add().  This
creates a race where userspace can issue a netlink query after the
device_add() event and not see the device as visible.

Ensure that no uevent is fired before device is fully registered.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
