I observed the following crash on my laptop after undocking it:

---[ end trace 098075e41d0a597e ]---

The values of the registers seems to indicate that it tries to
dereference the hpd_pin field of the encoder structure. The value 0xe4
corresponds to the offset of the field hpd_pin in the encoder structure.
It appears that encoder->hpd_pin is accessed without checking first that
encoder is not NULL. The same issue may happen in
intel_hpd_irq_storm_reenable_work().
This patch should fix these issues.
