Piotr Figiel a9fd0953fa brcmfmac: convert dev_init_lock mutex to completion
Leaving dev_init_lock mutex locked in probe causes BUG and a WARNING when
kernel is compiled with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Convert mutex to completion
which silences those warnings and improves code readability.

Fix below errors when connecting the USB WiFi dongle:

------------------------------------------------------
kworker/0:2/434 is trying to acquire lock:
e29cf799 ((wq_completion)"events"){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x174/0x808

but task is already holding lock:
18d5dcdf (&devinfo->dev_init_lock){+.+.}, at: brcmf_usb_probe+0x78/0x550 [brcmfmac]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  (wq_completion)"events" --> brcmf_driver_work --> &devinfo->dev_init_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&devinfo->dev_init_lock);
                               lock(brcmf_driver_work);
                               lock(&devinfo->dev_init_lock);

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
