In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: put off calling register_netdev() until client initialize complete

Currently, the netdevice is registered before client initializing complete. So there is a timewindow between netdevice available and usable. In this case, if user try to change the channel number or ring param, it may cause the hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap() being called twice, and report bug.

The process is like below: excuting hns3_client_init | register_netdev() | hns3_set_channels() | | hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap() hns3_reset_notify_uninit_enet() | | | quit without calling function | hns3_free_rx_cpu_rmap for flag | HNS3_NIC_STATE_INITED is unset. | | | hns3_reset_notify_init_enet() | | set HNS3_NIC_STATE_INITED call hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap()-- crash

Fix it by calling register_netdev() at the end of function hns3_client_init().
