init may not have initialized this->private by the time br_stub_worker starts running, leading to NULL dereference.

    features/bit-rot: Fix NULL dereference
    
    Problem:
    By the time br_stub_worker is accessing this->private in it's
    thread, 'init' may not have set 'this->private = priv'. This
    leads to NULL dereference leading to brick crash.
    
    Fix:
    Set this->private before launching these threads.
