Bluetooth: Move device initialization to hci_alloc_dev()
We currently initialize locks, lists, works, etc. in hci_register_dev() (hci_alloc_dev() was added later) which is bogus because an hdev is in an invalid state if it is not registered. This patch moves all memory initialization to hci_alloc_dev(). Device registering and registration of sub-modules is still left in hci_register_dev() as it belongs there. The benefit is (despite cleaning up the code-base) we can now always be sure that an hdev is a valid object and can be locked and worked on even though it may not be registered. This patch also reorders the initialization to be easier to understand. First the memory is initialized, then all generic structures and as last step the sub-init functions are called. This guarantees that all dependencies are initialized in the right order and makes it also easier to find a specific line. We previously initialized it in the same order as the "struct hci_dev" is declared which seems pretty random.
