[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v2 1/6] drivers/md/push_backup: correct initialization

Allocate pool and htable after lock, waitqueue and deadline
timer init so we are sure that pb_destroy() can be called
from anywhere. Otherwise we risk timer_delete_sync_try on
zeroed timer struct (currently luckily fine).
