Subject[PATCH] media: v4l2-core: expose the device after it was registered.
Date
device_register exposes the device to userspace.

Therefore, while the register process is ongoing, the userspace program
will fail to open the device (ENODEV will be set to errno currently).
The program in userspace must re-open the device to cover this case.

It is more reasonable to expose the device after everythings ready.
