syzbot reports a KASAN issue as below:

This occurs due to a race condition during DVB-USB-V2 device initialization. While initialization is in progress, I2C data may be read from userspace, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in dvb_usbv2_generic_write and a kernel panic.

Thread 1 (probe device) Thread 2 (receive i2c data) ... dvb_usbv2_probe() ... d->priv = kzalloc( d->props->size_of_priv, GFP_KERNEL); ... dvb_usbv2_init() ... // can read data from i2c dvb_usbv2_i2c_init() ... ... i2cdev_read() ... // d->priv data is invalid. UB mxl111sf_i2c_xfer() ... mxl111sf_ctrl_msg() ... // null ptr deref dvb_usbv2_generic_write() ... ... // d->priv data is valid dvb_usbv2_adapter_init() ...

Add init_ready flag check to prevent I/O on uninitialized DVB-USB-V2 device.
