Subject: [RFC PATCH] timerqueue: Complete rb_node initialization within timerqueue_init

The children of "node" within "struct timerqueue_node" may be uninit
status after the initialization. Initialize them as NULL under
timerqueue_init to prevent the problem.

However, syzbot doesn't have any corresponding reproducer yet, please
let me know if it makes sense or not, or any test can help to further
validate it, thanks!

Fixes: '1f5a24794a545 ("timers: Rename timerlist infrastructure to
timerqueue")'
