There were a few cases where iteration of the async_handlers_list would be attempted before the list was initialized by async_handlers_wk. This patch initializes that list during mld construction to guard against that case. This fixes a panic seen on boot: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 910 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.15.0-rc2+ #3 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: Default string Default string/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 02/21/2023 RIP: 0010:iwl_mld_cancel_async_notifications+0x4a/0xd0 [iwlmld] Code: ...
