You are absolutely right!! Guarding the injection with 
xe->drm.registered was the wrong approach.

The correct fix is structural, we are splitting xe_ras_init function 
into xe_ras_init_early() (keep all bookkeeping) and

xe_ras_init() (called after  drm_dev_register in which 
xe_ras_process_errors now lives).
