[PATCH] i2c: Prevent deadlock on i2c client registration
Delay the call to adapter->client_register() until after we are
certain that the client registration is a success. At this point the
client is fully initialized and we no longer hold the adapter->clist
mutex, so this should prevent the deadlocks if the client_register()
callback needs to take that mutex too, as is the case for the bttv
driver.
This fixes bug #7234.
