[PATCH] efi: fix NULL-deref in init error path - Linux-stable-mirror

19 Dec 2022

In case runtime services are not supported or have been disabled the
runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.
Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL
pointer.
Fixes: 98086df8b70c ("efi: add missed destroy_workqueue when efisubsys_init fails")
