This is used like this:

drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_intrs.c: irq_bypass_unregister_producer(&vdev->ctx[vector].producer);
drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_intrs.c: ret = irq_bypass_register_producer(&vdev->ctx[vector].producer);
virt/kvm/eventfd.c: irq_bypass_unregister_consumer(&irqfd->consumer);
virt/kvm/eventfd.c: ret = irq_bypass_register_consumer(&irqfd->consumer);

So your check won't actually catch irqfd or vdev being NULL.
