[PATCH 5.18 0312/1095] ath11k: fix netdev open race

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Johan Hovold <johan+linaro@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d4ba1ff87b17e81686ada8f429300876f55f95ad ]

Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device.

This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in
mod_timer() when ath11k_mac_op_start() is called before the
mon_reap_timer as been set up.

I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe
with next-20220511. Perhaps some timing changed in between.

Here's the backtrace:
