Subject: [PATCH v3] hid: logitech: check the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue

create_singlethread_workqueue may fail and return NULL. The fix
checks if it is NULL to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Also, the fix moves the call of create_singlethread_workqueue
earlier to avoid resource-release issues.
