[PATCH 4.18 153/168] firmware: Always initialize the fw_priv list object

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7012040576c6ae25a47035659ee48673612c2c27 upstream.

When freeing the fw_priv the item is taken off the list. This causes an
oops in the FW_OPT_NOCACHE case as the list object is not initialized.

Make sure to initialize the list object regardless of this flag.
