[ Upstream commit fc88dee89d7b63eeb17699393eb659aadf9d9b7c ]
syzbort reported a uninitialize wiphy_work_lock in cfg80211_dev_free. [1]
After rfkill allocation fails, the wiphy release process will be performed, which will cause cfg80211_dev_free to access the uninitialized wiphy_work related data.
Move the initialization of wiphy_work to before rfkill initialization to avoid this issue.

My apologies.
I inadvertently overlooked linux-6.12.y and it does need this patch.
Thank you for the reminder; I'll be sure to check more carefully before sending anything out next time!
Sorry, -- WangYuli
