Subject: [PATCH 068/115] ALSA: HDA: Fix Oops caused by dereference NULL pointer

3.5.7.13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Wang YanQing <udknight@...il.com>

commit 2195b063f6609e4c6268f291683902f25eaf9aa6 upstream.

The interrupt handler azx_interrupt will call azx_update_rirb,
which may call snd_hda_queue_unsol_event, snd_hda_queue_unsol_event
will dereference chip->bus pointer.

The problem is we alloc chip->bus in azx_codec_create
which will be called after we enable IRQ and enable unsolicited
event in azx_probe.

This will cause Oops due dereference NULL pointer. I meet it, good luck:)

[Rearranged the NULL check before the tracepoint and added another
 NULL check of bus->workq -- tiwai]
