[ldv-project] [PATCH] drivers: isdn: capi: Fix data-race bug

[madhuparnabhowmik10 at gmail.com]

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10 at gmail.com>

In capi_init(), after register_chrdev() the file operation callbacks
can be called. However capinc_tty_init() is called later.
Since capiminors and capinc_tty_driver are initialized in
capinc_tty_init(), their initialization can race with their usage
in various callbacks like in capi_release().

Therefore, call capinc_tty_init() before register_chrdev to avoid
such race conditions.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
