Maybe a middle ground would be to add a dedicated devl_init_unlock()*
were we can stick such init? Slap a WARN_ON(!registered) in the normal
unlock? I don't want the normal unlock to grow in complexity like
rtnl_unlock ended up growing.  

Yep, that was +- my idea when I suggested this, to have this in a
separate helper.

devl_unlock_in_init()
?

Maybe "after_init()" ? "in" sounds like we can release it multiple
times but I think the idea is that it's the final, single "release 
into the wild" unlock.
