geom: fix initialization order

Description

geom: fix initialization order

There's a race between the initialization of devsoftc.mtx (by devinit)
and the creation of the geom worker thread g_run_events, which calls
devctl_queue_data_f. Both of those are initialized at SI_SUB_DRIVERS
and SI_ORDER_FIRST, which means the geom worked thread can be created
before the mutex has been initialized, leading to the panic below:

wpanic: mtx_lock() of spin mutex (null) @ /usr/home/osstest/build.135317.build-amd64-freebsd/freebsd/sys/kern/subr_bus.c:620

Fix this by initializing geom at SI_ORDER_SECOND instead of
SI_ORDER_FIRST.
