commit 50c0ada627f56c92f5953a8bf9158b045ad026a1 upstream.

We currently call virtio_device_ready() after netdev
registration. Since ndo_open() can be called immediately
after register_netdev, this means there exists a race between
ndo_open() and virtio_device_ready(): the driver may start to use the
device before DRIVER_OK which violates the spec.

Fix this by switching to use register_netdevice() and protect the
virtio_device_ready() with rtnl_lock() to make sure ndo_open() can
only be called after virtio_device_ready().
