/dev/vtpmx is made visible before 'workqueue' is initialized, which can
lead to a memory corruption in the worst case scenario.

Address this by initializing 'workqueue' as the very first step of the
driver initialization.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 6f99612e2500 ("tpm: Proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated TPMs")

v2:
- Replace vtpmx_cleanup() with destroy_workqueue():

- Fix typo:
