Viresh Kumar b758d68618 greybus: connection: bind protocol after the connection is operational
We may bind protocol with a connection from gb_connection_create(), if
bundle's device_id is already set. That's not the case until now.

But if the protocol is initialized with a call to
protocol->connection_init() from this place, kernel will crash.

This will happen because the connection isn't fully initialized yet, for
example its operation list isn't initialized yet. And as soon as the
protocol driver tries to send a request to the module from its
connection_init() callback, we will add an operation to this
uninitialized list. And it will crash while doing:

        prev->next = new;

Try to bind the connection with a protocol only after the connection is
ready for operations.
