hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Check if WMI event data exists
[ Upstream commit a54da9df75cd1b4b5028f6c60f9a211532680585 ]
The BIOS can choose to return no event data in response to a
WMI event, so the ACPI object passed to the WMI notify handler
can be NULL.
Check for such a situation and ignore the event in such a case.
