net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix incorrect assignment of real_dev
A null dereference was observed when a sysctl was being set
from userspace and rmnet was stuck trying to complete some actions
in the NETDEV_REGISTER callback. This is because the real_dev is set
only after the device registration handler completes.
