Yes, this patch will solve NULL pointer dereference bug. But is it OK to leave
list_empty(&wb->work_list) == false situation? Who takes over the role of making
list_empty(&wb->work_list) == true?
Just a confirmation, for Fabiano Rosas is facing a problem that "write call
hangs in kernel space after virtio hot-remove" and is thinking that we might
need to go the opposite direction
