virt: coco: tsm: Complete PCI registration before publishing the device
This commit moves PCI TSM registration ahead of device_add() in tsm_register()
so that a TSM device is not discoverable through class lookup while PCI
registration can still fail, and rolls back PCI registration if device_add()
fails.

[Severity: Medium]
Does the commit message match the actual changes in
drivers/virt/coco/tsm-core.c?
The final paragraph states that class PCI attributes are created with the
correct visibility and that a subsequent sysfs group update is removed.
However, in drivers/virt/coco/tsm-core.c, tsm_class only defines .name and
.dev_release without any class PCI attributes or attribute groups:
static const struct class tsm_class = {
.name = "tsm",
.dev_release = tsm_release
};
Neither tsm_register_pci() nor tsm_register() contained or removed a
sysfs_update_group() call; the patch only reorders tsm_register_pci() before
device_add(), adds pci_tsm_unregister() on the device_add() error path, and
moves kobject_uevent(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_CHANGE) from tsm_register_pci() into
tsm_register() after device_add().
Also, the commit message references commit 37a73b0448ad ("tsm: Remove the
device from lookup before PCI teardown"), which does not exist in the commit
history because the preceding commit in the series is 2ae926219f58 ("virt:
coco: tsm: Remove the device from lookup before PCI teardown"). Could the
commit message be updated to remove the stale sysfs group description and
reference the right commit?
