Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Check if WMI event data exists

The BIOS can choose to return no event data in response to a
WMI event, so the ACPI object passed to the WMI notify handler
can be NULL.

Check for such a situation and ignore the event in such a case.

Fixes: 23902f98f8d4 ("hwmon: add HP WMI Sensors driver")
