Subject: [PATCH net-next] sfc: don't use netif_info et al before net_device is
 registered

Using netif_info() before the net_device is registered results in ugly
messages like the following:
sfc 0000:01:00.1 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Solarflare NIC detected
Therefore use pci_info() et al until net_device is registered.
