Hello,

* If a delayed work is queued with NULL @wq, workqueue code explodes
  after the timer expires at which point it's difficult to tell who
  the culprit was.  This actually happened and the offender was
  net/smc this time.  Add an explicit sanity check for it in the
  queueing path.

Thanks.
