Subject: [PATCH 16/28] driver core: Change function call order in device_bind_driver().

From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com>

Change function call order in device_bind_driver().

If we create symlinks (which might fail) before adding the device to the list
we don't have to clean up afterwards (which we didn't).
