Subject: [PATCH 5.10 03/79] tty: n_gsm: initialize more members at gsm_alloc_mux()

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit 4bb1a53be85fcb1e24c14860e326a00cdd362c28 upstream.

syzbot is reporting use of uninitialized spinlock at gsmld_write() [1], for
commit 32dd59f ("tty: n_gsm: fix race condition in gsmld_write()")
allows accessing gsm->tx_lock before gsm_activate_mux() initializes it.

Since object initialization should be done right after allocation in order
to avoid accessing uninitialized memory, move initialization of
timer/work/waitqueue/spinlock from gsmld_open()/gsm_activate_mux() to
gsm_alloc_mux().
