Subject: [PATCH] ehea: Fix memory hotplug oops


The ehea driver oopses during memory hotplug if the ports are not
up. A simple testcase:

# ifconfig ethX down
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state

Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state

To fix this, initialise the waitqueues during port probe instead
of port open.
