#1629021 — [PATCH 1/1] [media] cx25840: fix unchecked return values

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>

In functions cx25840_initialize(), cx231xx_initialize(), and
cx23885_initialize(), the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue()
is used without validation. This may result in NULL dereference and cause
kernel crash. This patch fixes it.
