Subject: xhci: init command timeout timer earlier to avoid deleting it 
uninitialized

From: Mathias Nyman <[email protected]>

commit cc8e4fc0c3b5e8340bc8358990515d116a3c274c upstream.

Don't check if timer is running with a timer_pending() before
deleting it with del_timer_sync(), this defies the whole point of
the sync part and can cause a possible race.

Instead we just want to make sure the timer is initialized early enough
before we have a chance to delete it.
