[PATCH 1/5] ses: close potential registration race

[Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx>]

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

The slot and address fields have a small window of instability when
userspace can read them before initialization. Separate
enclosure_component
allocation from registration.
