6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 3c668cef61adde9ddfb1b79708c9a08d9ac01bae ]

We must initialize prune_proxy_timer before we attempt
a del_timer_sync() on it.

syzbot reported the following splat:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.
