Commit a41d122449be ("ALSA: hda - Embed bus into controller object")
introduced a regression in the Tegra HDA driver that causes the
following oops during boot:

This is caused by azx_bus_init() trying to dereference chip->card, which
for the Tegra driver doesn't get initialized until sometime later during
the call to hda_tegra_create().

Fix this by mimicking the behaviour of the Intel driver and defer HDA
bus initialization until right before the call to snd_device_new().
