caif_usb: Check driver name before reading driver state in netdev notifier
In cfusbl_device_notify(), the usbnet and usbdev variables are initialised before the driver name has been checked. In case the device's driver is not cdc_ncm, this may result in reading beyond the end of the netdev private area. Move the initialisation below the driver name check.
