[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: move initialization of the config values

[Alison Schofield]

Move the initialization of the config values so that an uninit'd
mutex is not exposed and to simplify the initialization process.

The code was allocating a structure with a lock, initializing and
taking the lock, setting some values, and then releasing the
lock.  If no other thread can get it, then the lock isn't needed.
If another thread can get it, it could find it before the mutex
is initialized.

Make it safe and simple by setting the config values and initializing
their mutex before the kthread is started.  No lock/unlock needed.

That may work, but I think it would be simpler to do this next to the
kzalloc() before we do the wilc->vif[i]->hif_drv = hif_drv; assignment.
