What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

efi: fix NULL-deref in init error path

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.
