cfg80211: initialize wdev data earlier
There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available, and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev but using a netdev interface index. I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the change here happened after init. However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a netns move, when data might still be pending.
