USB: ohci-exynos: initialize registers pointer earlier



In the former code, we have a race condition between the first interrupt
and the regs field initilization in the usb_hcd structure.
If the OHCI irq fires before hcd->regs is set, we are getting a null
pointer dereference in ohci_irq.

When calling usb_add_hcd(), it first executes the reset() callback,
then enables the ohci interrupt, and finally executes the start()
callback. So moving the ohci_init() call which actually initializes the
reg field from start() to reset() should remove the race.

Tested by enabling the external HSIC hub in the bootloader on an exynos5
machine and booting. With the former code, this triggers an early interrupt
about 50% of the boots and a subsequent kernel panic in ohci_irq when trying
to access the registers.
