Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 213/281] [media] cx25840: fix unchecked return
 values

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>

[ Upstream commit 35378ce143071c2a6bad4b59a000e9b9f8f6ea67 ]

In functions cx25840_initialize(), cx231xx_initialize(), and
cx23885_initialize(), the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue()
is used without validation. This may result in NULL dereference and cause
kernel crash. This patch fixes it.
