A null pointer dereference in qrtr_ns_data_ready() is seen if a client opens a qrtr socket before qrtr_ns_init() can bind to the control port. When the control port is bound, the ENETRESET error will be broadcasted and clients will close their sockets. This results in DEL_CLIENT packets being sent to the ns and qrtr_ns_data_ready() being called without the workqueue being allocated. Allocate the workqueue before setting sk_data_ready and binding to the control port. This ensures that the work and workqueue structs are allocated and initialized before qrtr_ns_data_ready can be called.
