The failure to register devlink will leave the system with dangled
devlink resource, which is not cleaned if devlink_port_register() fails.

In order to remove access to ".registered" field of struct devlink_port,
require both devlink_register and devlink_port_register to success and
check it through device pointer.

Sure, thanks.

Future series will remove .registered field from the devlink.
