Currently the pointer wilc is being null checked several times
and yet not checked for the final workqueue flush and destroy
(which can lead to a null pointer dereference if wilc is null);
these missing null checks were overlooked in an earlier core
refactoring commit.
Clean up the code by checking wilc at the start and bailing out
early if it is null allowing the subsequent null checks to be
removed, this also fixes the potential null pointer deferences
on the workqueue flush and destroy calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
