[PATCH 4.1 114/202] xhci: init command timeout timer earlier to avoid deleting it uninitialized

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cc8e4fc0c3b5e8340bc8358990515d116a3c274c upstream.

Don't check if timer is running with a timer_pending() before
deleting it with del_timer_sync(), this defies the whole point of
the sync part and can cause a possible race.

Instead we just want to make sure the timer is initialized early enough
before we have a chance to delete it.
