Subject: [PATCH 1/2] can: bcm: registration process optimization in bcm_module_init()

Now, register_netdevice_notifier() and register_pernet_subsys() are both
after can_proto_register(). It can create CAN_BCM socket and process socket
once can_proto_register() successfully, so it is possible missing notifier
event or proc node creation because notifier or bcm proc directory is not
registered or created yet. Although this is a low probability scenario, it
is not impossible.

Move register_pernet_subsys() and register_netdevice_notifier() to the
front of can_proto_register(). In addition, register_pernet_subsys() and
register_netdevice_notifier() may fail, check their results are necessary.
