Andreas Kemnade 4c761daf8b net: hso: register netdev later to avoid a race condition
If the netdev is accessed before the urbs are initialized,
there will be NULL pointer dereferences. That is avoided by
registering it when it is fully initialized.

This case occurs e.g. if dhcpcd is running in the background
and the device is probed, either after insmod hso or
when the device appears on the usb bus.

A backtrace is the following:

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
