With this patch applied, I get a clang-sanitizer-build failure

The patch is correct in that the device shouldn't be resetting itself
in realize, but this is presumably masking a bug elsewhere in the device
that we need to fix first before we can make this change.

It looks as if what happens is that the GraphicHwOps methods can
get called before the device is reset. I don't know if that is
something we can arrange to have not happen -- certainly it's
a bit confusing to have to deal with the device not having been
reset yet -- or if implementations just have to deal with it.

thanks
