4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 637fdbae60d6cb9f6e963c1079d7e0445c86ff7d ] If queue_delayed_work() gets called with NULL @wq, the kernel will oops asynchronuosly on timer expiration which isn't too helpful in tracking down the offender. This actually happened with smc. __queue_delayed_work() already does several input sanity checks synchronously. Add NULL @wq check.
