Once a netdev is registered, the corresponding network interface can be immediately used by userspace utilities (like say NetworkManager). This can be problematic if the driver technically isn't fully up yet. Move netdev registration to the end of probe, as by this time the driver data structures and device will be initialized as expected. However, delaying netdev registration causes a failure in the aRFS flow where netdev->reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED condition is checked. It's not clear why this check was added to begin with, so remove it. Local testing didn't indicate any issues with this change. The state bit check in ice_open was put in as a stop-gap measure to prevent a premature interface up operation. This is no longer needed, so remove it.

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.
