Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: put off calling register_netdev() until client initialize complete

Currently, the netdevice is registered before client initializing
complete. So there is a timewindow between netdevice available
and usable. In this case, if user try to change the channel number
or ring param, it may cause the hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap() being called
twice, and report bug.

The process is like below:
excuting hns3_client_init
|
register_netdev()
| hns3_set_channels()
| |
hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap() hns3_reset_notify_uninit_enet()
| |
| quit without calling function
| hns3_free_rx_cpu_rmap for flag
| HNS3_NIC_STATE_INITED is unset.
| |
| hns3_reset_notify_init_enet()
| |
set HNS3_NIC_STATE_INITED call hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap()-- crash

Fix it by calling register_netdev() at the end of function
hns3_client_init().
