as102_dvb_register() calls dvb_register_adapter() and
dvb_register_frontend() before mutex_init()'ing bus_adap.lock and
sem. Both mutexes live inside the kzalloc'd as102_dev, so until
mutex_init() runs they are all-zero, uninitialized memory.

dvb_register_frontend() makes /dev/dvb/adapterX/frontendY openable
right away, and open() reaches as102_stream_ctrl(), which locks
bus_adap.lock. Likewise, dvb_dmxdev_init() exposes as102_dev->sem to
the demux start/stop_feed callbacks well before the two
mutex_init() calls near the end of the function run. A concurrent
open() racing the tail of as102_dvb_register() can thus lock a
mutex that was never initialized: lockdep reports this as "trying
to register non-static key", and on a real contended lock it is
worse than a missing annotation, since an uninitialized mutex has
no valid wait list.

Move both mutex_init() calls to the top of the function, before the
adapter is registered, so the locks are always ready before the
device is reachable from userspace.
