ptp_clock_register() exposes the clock to userspace. If either following
initialization operation fails, probe returns and devres frees idtfc3 while
the registered clock still refers to the clock information embedded in it.

Complete the fallible initialization before registering the clock. Schedule
the worker after registration because it requires the registered clock.
This removes post-registration failures and avoids exposing a partially
initialized clock.

Changes in v2:
- Register the PTP clock after initialization instead of unregistering it
  while holding idtfc3->lock, which could deadlock with a concurrent clock
  operation holding the POSIX clock rwsem.
