Mika Westerberg acb40d8412 thunderbolt: Initialize Thunderbolt bus earlier
The 0day kbuild robot reports following crash:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000004
  IP: tb_property_find+0xe/0x41
  *pde = 00000000
  Oops: 0000 [#1]
  CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.14.0-rc1-00741-ge69b6c0 #412

The reason is that both Thunderbolt bus and thunderbolt-net are build
into the kernel image, and the latter is linked first because
drivers/net comes before drivers/thunderbolt. Since both use
module_init() thunderbolt-net ends up calling Thunderbolt bus functions
too early triggering the above crash.

Fix this by moving Thunderbolt bus initialization to happen earlier to
make sure all the data structures are ready when Thunderbolt service
drivers are initialized. To be on the safe side also add a check for
properly initialized xdomain_property_dir to tb_register_property_dir().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
