Guard I2C against oopsing because of init sequence problems, by
verifying that i2c_init() has been called before calling any
routines that rely on that initialization.  This specific test
just requires that bus_register(&i2c_bus_type) was called.

Examples of this kind of oopsing come from subystems and drivers
which register I2C drivers in their subsys_initcall code but
which are statically linked before I2C by drivers/Makefile.
