e1000: Restructure and streamline PCI device probing


By allocating the e1000 device structures much earlier, we can easily
generate better error messages and siginficantly clean things up.

The only user-visable change (aside from reworded error messages) is
that a detected e1000 device which fails to initialize due to software
or hardware error will still be allocated a device number.

As one example, consider a system with 2 e1000 PCI devices where the
first controller has a corrupted EEPROM.  Using the old code the
second controller would be "e1000#0", while with this change it would be
"e1000#1".

This change should hopefully make such EEPROM errors much more
straightforward to handle correctly in boot scripts and the like.

It is also necessary for a followup patch which allows SPI programming
of an e1000 controller's EEPROM even if the checksum is invalid.
