Subject: [PATCH] drivers: base: core: do not put noninitialized devices

If kobject_set_name_vargs() fails then put_device() frees
device with zero kobj->state_initialized.  This leads to WARN().
Divide device_register() call to device_initialize() call before
kobject_set_name_vargs() and device_add() call after it.
