A null-ptr-deref is triggered when it tries to destroy the workqueue in
vkms->output.composer_workq in vkms_release().
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000118-0x000000000000011f]

The reason is that an OOM happened which triggers the destroy of the
workqueue, however, the workqueue is alloced in the later process,
thus a null-ptr-deref happened. A simple call graph is shown as below:
vkms_init()
vkms_create()
devm_drm_dev_alloc()
__devm_drm_dev_alloc()
devm_drm_dev_init()
devm_add_action_or_reset()
devm_add_action() # an error happened
devm_drm_dev_init_release()
drm_dev_put()
kref_put()
drm_dev_release()
vkms_release()
destroy_workqueue() # null-ptr-deref happened
vkms_modeset_init()
vkms_output_init()
vkms_crtc_init() # where the workqueue get allocated
Fix this by checking if composer_workq is NULL before passing it to
the destroy_workqueue() in vkms_release().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
