3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Thomas Pugliese <thomas.pugliese@gmail.com>
commit 675f0ab2fe5a0f7325208e60b617a5f32b86d72c upstream.
Make sure the uwb_dev->bce entry is set before calling uwb_dev_add in uwbd_dev_onair so that usermode will only see the device after it is properly initialized. This fixes a kernel panic that can occur if usermode tries to access the IEs sysfs attribute of a UWB device before the driver has had a chance to set the beacon cache entry.
