[PATCH] dm: fix block device initialisation

In alloc_dev(), we register the device with the block layer and then continue
to initialize the device.  But register_disk() makes the device available to
be opened before we have completed initialising it.

This patch moves the final bits of the initialization above the disk
registration.

[akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled]
