psmouse-base.c is calling alps_detect() and alps_init()
consecutively so it does not matter if code is in _detect or
_init function. Just need to make sure that correct order will be
used. So this patch could not bring any problems.

If psmouse-base.c detect device false-positive as ALPS (with
alps_detect()) then it immediately calls alps_init() which fails
and psmouse-base.c will try to use another protocol.
