ath6kl: Fix kernel panic while receiving fwlog during boot

"ath6kl: Defer wiphy and netdev registration till the end of ath6kl_core_init()"
causes kernel panic by accessing the unallocated debug resources during
boot time. To fix this, split the debug initialization funtion into two,
one initializes the debug resource and the other takes care of debugfs
initialization. When this issue shows up the kernel crash dump would
look like
