It is not safe to initialize the waitqueues after queueing the
watchdog_task. It will be using them.
The chance of this causing a real problem is very small, because
there will be some sleeping before any of the waitqueues get used.
I got a crash only after inserting an artificial sleep in iavf_probe.
Queue the watchdog_task as the last step in iavf_probe. Add a comment to
prevent repeating the mistake.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
