Subject: [PATCH 4.4 020/108] net: cdc_ncm: initialize drvflags before usage

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

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

From: Matthias Hintzmann <matthias.dev@....de>

ctx->drvflags is checked in the if clause before beeing initialized.
Move initialization before first usage.

Note, that the if clause was backported with commit 75f82a703b30
("cdc_ncm: Set NTB format again after altsetting switch for Huawei
devices") from mainline (upstream commit 2b02c20ce0c2 ("cdc_ncm: Set NTB
format again after altsetting switch for Huawei devices").  In mainline,
the initialization is at the right place before the if clause.

[mrkiko.rs@...il.com: commit message tweaks]

Fixes: 75f82a703b30 ("cdc_ncm: Set NTB format again after altsetting switch for Huawei devices")
