alloc_workqueue is not checked for errors and as a result,
a potential NULL dereference could occur.

Wonder why this is coming out now ... but I don't think kmalloc() was
ever 'fixed' to fail for small allocations, so I guess this will never
fail?

Anyway, as 0-day bot pointed out, this isn't really right. The cleanup
paths here are also tricky, so I arrived at this patch a few days ago:

  My bad, I should have looked at the cleanup path.

   I would like to stick to if(unlikely(!trans_pcie->rba.alloc_wq) just 
for consistency.

   Let me know if I could add your SOB and send out V2.

That's just clutter, this path gets called exactly once in the lifetime
of most systems ...

No no, I've already sent the patch on the way internally :)
