Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.0 56/67] x86/hpet: Prevent potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@....edu>

[ Upstream commit 2e84f116afca3719c9d0a1a78b47b48f75fd5724 ]

hpet_virt_address may be NULL when ioremap_nocache fail, but the code lacks
a check.

Add a check to prevent NULL pointer dereference.
