[patch 55/58] rndis_wlan: fix initialization order for workqueue&workers

[Greg KH]

2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@xxxxxxxx>

commit e805e4d0b53506dff4255a2792483f094e7fcd2c upstream.

rndis_wext_link_change() might be called from rndis_command() at
initialization stage and priv->workqueue/priv->work have not been
initialized yet. This causes invalid opcode at rndis_wext_bind on
some brands of bcm4320.

Fix by initializing workqueue/workers in rndis_wext_bind() before
rndis_command is used.

This bug has existed since 2.6.25, reported at:
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12794
