Crypto: chelsio - Fixes a deadlock between rtnl_lock and uld_mutex

The locks are taken in this order during driver registration
(uld_mutex), at: cxgb4_register_uld.part.14+0x49/0xd60 [cxgb4]
(rtnl_mutex), at: rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x2db/0x400
(uld_mutex), at: cxgb_up+0x3a/0x7b0 [cxgb4]
(rtnl_mutex), at: chcr_add_xfrmops+0x83/0xa0 [chcr](stucked here)

To avoid this now the netdev features are updated after the
cxgb4_register_uld function is completed.

Fixes: 6dad4e8ab3 ("chcr: Add support for Inline IPSec").
