Drivers will commonly perform feature setting during init, if they use
the xdp_set_features_flag() helper they'll likely run into an ASSERT_RTNL()
inside call_netdevice_notifiers_info().
Don't call the notifier until the device is actually registered.
Nothing should be tracking the device until its registered and
after its unregistration has started.
