Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: fix null-ptr-deref on __alloc_workqueue() error

wq->lockdep_map is set only after __alloc_workqueue()
successfully returns. However, on its error path
__alloc_workqueue() may call destroy_workqueue() which
expects wq->lockdep_map to be already set, which results
in a null-ptr-deref in touch_wq_lockdep_map().

Add a simple NULL-check to touch_wq_lockdep_map().

Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0x81/0x7800
