[lvc-project] [PATCH] media: redrat3: fix use-after-free in rc_dev_uevent()

In 'redrat3_dev_probe()', it makes no sense to register the device
in rc subsystem until it is completely initialized (i.e. passes
'redrat3_enable_detector()' successfully). Otherwise the device
may be announced as ready to receive events even if was freed
by 'redrat3_delete()' during error recovery after probing.
