kprobes: initialize before using a hlist
commit d496aab upstream. Commit ef53d9c ("kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking") introduced a bug where we can potentially leak kretprobe_instances since we initialize a hlist head after having used it. Initialize the hlist head before using it.
