pstore: Allocate compression during late_initcall()

ramoops's call of pstore_register() was recently moved to run during late_initcall() because the crypto backend may not have been ready during postcore_initcall(). This meant early-boot crash dumps were not getting caught by pstore any more. Instead, lets allow calls to pstore_register() earlier, and once crypto is ready we can initialize the compression.
