Subject: [PATCH 3.16 187/366] s390/qeth: handle failure on workqueue creation

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@...ux.ibm.com>

commit a936b1ef37ce1e996533878f4b23944f9444dcdf upstream.

Creating the global workqueue during driver init may fail, deal with it.
Also, destroy the created workqueue on any subsequent error.

Fixes: 0f54761d167f ("qeth: Support VEPA mode")
