uio: ensure class is registered before devices
[ Upstream commit ae61cf5b9913027c6953a79ed3894da4f47061bd ]
When both uio and the uio drivers are built in the kernel, it is possible
for a driver to register devices before the uio class is registered.
This may result in a NULL pointer dereference later on in
get_device_parent() when accessing the class glue_dirs spinlock.
The trace looks like that:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000140

Return EPROBE_DEFER in that case so the driver can register the device
later.
