Subject[PATCH 1/1] async: initialise list heads to fix crash
Date
The commit "async: replace list of active domains with global list of
pending items" added a struct list_head global_list in struct
async_entry, which isn't initialised. This means that if
!domain->registered at __async_schedule(), then list_del_init() will be
called on the list head in async_run_entry_fn with both pointers NULL,
causing a crash. This is fixed by initialising both the global_list and
domain_list list_heads after kzalloc'ing the entry.

This was noticed due to dapm_power_widgets() which uses
ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE, which initialises the domain->registered to 0.
