Error paths within idxd_pci_probe_alloc and related functions end up
calling destroy_workqueue with a null pointer, from
idxd_conf_device_release via put_device, because that allocation has
not yet occurred when the error is hit.

This was encountered running in a kexec'd kdump kernel with reduced
resources, causing the "Device is HALTED!" branch in
idxd_device_init_reset to be taken.

In idxd_conf_device_release, check that the workqueue has been
allocated before trying to destroy it.

Fixes: 3d33de353b1f ("dmaengine: idxd: Fix not releasing workqueue on .release()")
