[PATCH] drivers: crypto: picoxcell_crypto: Fix potential race condition bug

[madhuparnabhowmik10]

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@gmail.com>

engine->stat_irq_thresh was initialized after device_create_file() in
the probe function, the initialization may race with call to
spacc_stat_irq_thresh_store() which updates engine->stat_irq_thresh,
therefore initialize it before creating the file in probe function.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
