qcacld-3.0: Register the netdev notifier before the netdevices
Applications in the userspace can sleep on the RTM events from
the driver. One such application waiting of RTM_NEW_LINK indication
does interface up as soon as it recieves the indication, so the
kernel takes rtnl_lock to call the dev_open on the interface.
Load/unload of the driver and dev_open of the interfaces are
synchronized with hdd_init_deinit_lock. So the __hdd_open is waiting
on the hdd_init_deinit_lock which is currently held by the driver
loading context. After registering the interfaces driver goes to
register the netdev notifier which is blocked on the rtnl_lock
currently held by the dev_open resulting in deadlock.
To mitigate the issue register the netdev notifier before the
interfaces are registered.
