mac80211_hwsim: Timer should be initialized before device registered

Otherwise if network manager starts configuring Wi-Fi interface
immidiatelly after getting notification of its creation, we will get
NULL pointer dereference:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
