The commit not only adds the allocation sanity check, but also adds the
destroy_workqueue to release the allocated priv->wq.
Therefore, revert the commit will cause memory leak.

There is a check for the kms pointer to avoid NULL-pointer dereference in
the msm_drm_uninit().

The ddev is allocated by drm_dev_alloc which support automatic cleanup.
