[ Upstream commit de7b75d82f70c5469675b99ad632983c50b6f7e7 ]

LKP recently reported a hang at bootup in the floppy code:

showing that we never complete that read request. The reason is that
the completion setup is racy - it initializes the completion event
AFTER submitting the IO, which means that the IO could complete
before/during the init. If it does, we are passing garbage to
complete() and we may sleep forever waiting for the event to
occur.
