netdevsim: take bus device refcount before registering device

nsim_bus_dev_release() drops nsim_bus_devs when a device is freed, but
the matching increment was done in new_device_store() after
nsim_bus_dev_new() returned.  When device_register() failed inside
nsim_bus_dev_new(), put_device() invoked the release callback and
decremented without an increment, driving the refcount to zero; a later
creation then incremented from zero (refcount_t: addition on 0).

Increment nsim_bus_devs in nsim_bus_dev_new() before device_register(),
and drop the bus reference in nsim_bus_exit() only after every device has
been removed, so the completion cannot be signaled early.
