[PATCHv3 4/6] mailbox: Fix TX completion init

From: Jassi Brar
Date: Sat Feb 15 2014 - 13:26:34 EST


From: LeyFoon Tan <lftan.linux@xxxxxxxxx>

For fast TX the complete could be called before being initialized as follows
ipc_send_message --> poll_txdone --> tx_tick --> complete(&chan->tx_complete)

Init the completion early enough to fix the race.
