Subject: [PATCH] vdpa_sim_net: complete the initialization before register the device

Initialization must be completed before calling _vdpa_register_device()
since it can connect the device to the vDPA bus, so requests can arrive
after that call.

So for example vdpasim_net_work(), which uses the net->*_stats variables,
can be scheduled before they are initialized.

Let's move _vdpa_register_device() to the end of vdpasim_net_dev_add()
and add a comment to avoid future issues.

Fixes: 0899774cb360 ("vdpa_sim_net: vendor satistics")

Notes:
    I don't have a reproducer, but I became aware of this problem while
    I was changing the buffer allocation.
    
    In the block device, as soon as the device is registered, the driver
    sends several requests, and I guess this might happen for the net
    device as well.
    
    Thanks,
    Stefano
