usb: roles: set switch registered flag early on

Browse source 
The role switch registration and set_role() can happen in parallel as they
are invoked independent of each other. There is a possibility that a driver
might spend significant amount of time in usb_role_switch_register() API
due to the presence of time intensive operations like component_add()
which operate under common mutex. This leads to a time window after
allocating the switch and before setting the registered flag where the set
role notifications are dropped. Below timeline summarizes this behavior

Thread1				|	Thread2
usb_role_switch_register()	|
	|			|
	---> allocate switch	|
	|			|
	---> component_add()	|	usb_role_switch_set_role()
	|			|	|
	|			|	--> Drop role notifications
	|			|	    since sw->registered
	|			|	    flag is not set.
	|			|
	--->Set registered flag.|

To avoid this, set the registered flag early on in the switch register
API.
