Always check under the instance lock whether the devlink instance is still / already registered. This is a no-op for the most part, as the unregistration path currently waits for all references. On the init path, however, we may temporarily open up a race with netdev code, if netdevs are registered before the devlink instance. This is temporary, the next change fixes it, and this commit has been split out for the ease of review. Note that in case of iterating over sub-objects which have their own lock (regions and line cards) we assume an implicit dependency between those objects existing and devlink unregistration.

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.
