The check is in wrong place at least in 4.4:

> +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_kms.c
> @@ -257,6 +257,9 @@ int virtio_gpu_driver_unload(struct drm_device *dev)
>  	flush_work(&vgdev->config_changed_work);
>  	vgdev->vdev->config->del_vqs(vgdev->vdev);
>  
> +	if (!vgdev)
> +		return;
> +

Pointer is dereferenced before being tested.

Best regards,
