qcacld-3.0: Relocate init of tx_action_cnf_event
HDD has a completion variable which is used to synchronize the sending
of an action frame with the send confirmation. Proper use of a
completion variable requires a specific sequence of steps:
- Initialize the completion variable
- Perform the activity that has asynchronous processing
- Wait on the completion variable
Currently HDD does not correctly follow this model for sending action
frames; it incorrectly initializes the completion variable after it
has invoked the UMAC function which sends the frame. This creates a
race condition whereby the TX could complete and set the completion
variable before the completion variable is initialized, and then when
the completion variable is initialized the fact that the activity has
already completed will be lost.
In order to prevent this race condition and conform to the sequence of
steps required for proper completion variable usage, relocate the
initialization of tx_action_cnf_event.
