[PATCH 3.18 35/64] workqueue: trigger WARN if queue_delayed_work() is called with NULL @wq

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 637fdbae60d6cb9f6e963c1079d7e0445c86ff7d ]

If queue_delayed_work() gets called with NULL @wq, the kernel will
oops asynchronuosly on timer expiration which isn't too helpful in
tracking down the offender.  This actually happened with smc.

__queue_delayed_work() already does several input sanity checks
synchronously.  Add NULL @wq check.
