[ Upstream commit be4977b847f5d5cedb64d50eaaf2218c3a55a3a3 ]

When enabling a bearer on a node, a kernel panic is observed:

The node in question is receiving activate messages in another
thread after changing bearer status to allow message sending/
receiving in current thread:

  }                         |

Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data
is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.

This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling
the bearer to receive messages.
