[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.
