Subject[PATCH] char: tpm: vtpm_proxy: Fix race in init
Date
vtpm_module_init calls vtpmx_init which calls misc_register. The file
operations callbacks are registered. So, vtpmx_fops_ioctl can execute in
parallel with rest of vtpm_module_init. vtpmx_fops_ioctl calls
vtpmx_ioc_new_dev, which calls vtpm_proxy_create_device, which calls
vtpm_proxy_work_start, which could read uninitialized workqueue.

To avoid this, create workqueue before vtpmx init.
