dm thin: fix crash by initializing thin device's refcount and completion earlier

Commit 80e96c54 ("dm thin: do not allow thin device activation
while pool is suspended") delayed the initialization of a new thin
device's refcount and completion until after this new thin was added
to the pool's active_thins list and the pool lock is released.  This
opens a race with a worker thread that walks the list and calls
thin_get/put, noticing that the refcount goes to 0 and calling
complete, freezing up the system and giving the oops below:

Set the thin device's initial refcount and initialize the completion
before adding it to the pool's active_thins list in thin_ctr().
