[RFC PATCH] sound: line6: Fix race condition in line6_probe

From: Hyeonggon Yoo
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 09:27:38 EST


syzbot reported general protection fault in midibuf_is_full.
the cause is linemidi pointer in struct usb_line6 isn't properly
initialized.

the pointer isn't initialized because there is race condition
in line6_probe. it calls line6_init_cap_control first, which submits urb.
and then it initializes it's data using private_init function.

so it's possible line6_data_received is called before it's
data isn't initialized.
