Ian Abbott 08b7c2f920 staging: comedi: vmk80xx: Fix use of uninitialized semaphore
If `vmk80xx_auto_attach()` returns an error, the core comedi module code
will call `vmk80xx_detach()` to clean up.  If `vmk80xx_auto_attach()`
successfully allocated the comedi device private data,
`vmk80xx_detach()` assumes that a `struct semaphore limit_sem` contained
in the private data has been initialized and uses it.  Unfortunately,
there are a couple of places where `vmk80xx_auto_attach()` can return an
error after allocating the device private data but before initializing
the semaphore, so this assumption is invalid.  Fix it by initializing
the semaphore just after allocating the private data in
`vmk80xx_auto_attach()` before any other errors can be returned.

I believe this was the cause of the following syzbot crash report
<https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=54c2f58f15fe6876b6ad>:

usb 1-1: config 0 has no interface number 0

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
