powercap: fix race condition in register_control_type()
[ Upstream commit
7bda1910c4bccd4b8d4726620bb3d6bbfb62286e ]
The device becomes visible to userspace via device_register()
even before it fully initialized by idr_init(). If userspace
or another thread tries to register a zone immediately after
device_register(), the control_type_valid() will fail because
the control_type is not yet in the list. The IDR is not yet
initialized, so this race condition causes zone registration
failure.
Move idr_init() and list addition before device_register()
fix the race condition.
