Subject: [PATCH 4.4 063/241] dm delay: fix a crash when invalid device is specified

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 81bc6d150ace6250503b825d9d0c10f7bbd24095 upstream.

When the target line contains an invalid device, delay_ctr() will call
delay_dtr() with NULL workqueue.  Attempting to destroy the NULL
workqueue causes a crash.
