sfc: Fix ordering of device registration and initial netif_carrier_off()
We must call netif_carrier_off() after the device is registered, not before, to set the operational state and user-space IFF_RUNNING flag correctly. Since we don't want observers to see an intermediate state, open-code register_netdev() and add efx_update_name() and netif_carrier_off() into the locked region.
