Subject: [RFC net-next 06/10] devlink: don't require setting features before registration

Requiring devlink_set_features() to be run before devlink is
registered is overzealous. devlink_set_features() itself is
a leftover from old workarounds which were trying to prevent
initiating reload before probe was complete.
