Subject: driver core: change function call order in device_bind_driver()
From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@xxxxxxxxxx>
Change function call order in device_bind_driver().
If we create symlinks (which might fail) before adding the device to the list
we don't have to clean up afterwards (which we didn't).
