[NET]: Do sysfs registration as part of register_netdevice.
The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed
call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error
code if the class_device registration failed.
Side effects:
* one state in registration process is unnecessary.
* register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug
* code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.
