[RFC][PATCH] sound/virtio: Fix cancel_sync warnings on uninitialized work_structs

[John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>]

Betty reported hitting the following warning:

[    8.709131][  T221] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 221 at kernel/workqueue.c:4182
...
[    8.713282][  T221] Call trace:

...

It seems we're hitting the error path in virtsnd_probe(), which
triggers a virtsnd_remove() which iterates over the substreams
calling cancel_work_sync() on the elapsed_period work_struct.

Looking at the code, from earlier in:
virtsnd_probe()->virtsnd_build_devs()->virtsnd_pcm_parse_cfg()

We set snd->nsubstreams, allocate the snd->substreams, and if
we then hit an error on the info allocation or something in
virtsnd_ctl_query_info() fails, we will exit without having
initialized the elapsed_period work_struct.

When that error path unwinds we then call virtsnd_remove()
which as long as the substreams array is allocated, will iterate
through calling cancel_work_sync() on the uninitialized work
struct hitting this warning.

The simplest fix seems to just check the work_struct->func ptr
is valid before calling cancel_work_sync(), but I wanted to share
in case folks had ideas for a better solution.

I have not yet managed to reproduce the issue myself, so this
patch has had limited testing.

Feedback or thoughts would be appreciated!
