In procedure ib_register_device, procedure kobject_uevent is called
(advertising that the device is ready for userspace usage) even when
device_enable_and_get() returned an error.
As a result, various RDMA modules attempted to register for the device
even while the device driver was preparing to unregister the device.
Fix this by advertising the device availability only after enabling the
device succeeds.
Fixes: e7a5b4aafd82 ("RDMA/device: Don't fire uevent before device is fully initialized")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
