net/mlx5: Fix vhca_id access call trace use before alloc

HCA CAP structure is allocated in mlx5_hca_caps_alloc().
mlx5_mdev_init()
  mlx5_hca_caps_alloc()

And HCA CAP is read from the device in mlx5_init_one().

The vhca_id's debugfs file is published even before above two
operations are done.
Due to this when user reads the vhca id before the initialization,
following call trace is observed.

Fix this by deferring debugfs publication until the HCA CAP is
allocated and read from the device.
