net/mlx5e: Fix devlink port register sequence
If udevd is configured to rename interfaces according to persistent naming rules and if a network interface has phys_port_name in sysfs, its contents will be appended to the interface name. However, register_netdev creates device in sysfs and if devlink_port_register is called after that, there is a timeframe in which udevd may read an empty phys_port_name value. The consequence is that the interface will lose this suffix and its name will not be really persistent. The solution is to register the port before registering a netdev.
