Subject: ibmvnic: Initialize completion variables before starting work
From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit db5d0b597bc27bbddf40f2f8359a73be4eb77104 ]
Initialize condition variables prior to invoking any work that can
mark them complete. This resolves a race in the ibmvnic driver where
the driver faults trying to complete an uninitialized condition
variable.
