[PATCH v2] hid: logitech: check the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue

From: Kangjie Lu
Date: Tue Mar 12 2019 - 02:16:56 EST


create_singlethread_workqueue may fail and return NULL. The fix
checks if it is NULL to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Also, the fix moves the call of create_singlethread_workqueue
earlier to avoid resource-release issues.
