Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On dual GFX systems, if amdgpu fails to probe a device, vgaarb for
  another GFX triggers a NULL pointer dereference and freeze the system.

  [Fix]
  Defer VGA client registering so resources are handled properly when
  amdgpu probe fails.
          
  [Test]          
  With the patch applied, no more kernel panic when vgaarb is changing the
  VGA mode.
          
  [Where problems could occur]
  VGA clients won't take effect until a successful probe, so unless there
  is very subtle bug in vgaarb or vgaswitcheroo, it's very unlikely to
  introduce any regression.
