Fix the following BUG:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000c
Workqueue: events azx_probe_work [snd_hda_intel]
RIP: 0010:snd_hdac_bus_update_rirb+0x80/0x160 [snd_hda_core]
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
azx_interrupt+0x78/0x140 [snd_hda_codec]
__handle_irq_event_percpu+0x49/0x300
handle_irq_event_percpu+0x23/0x60
handle_irq_event+0x3c/0x60
handle_edge_irq+0xdb/0x180
handle_irq+0x23/0x30
do_IRQ+0x6a/0x140
common_interrupt+0xf/0xf

The Call Trace happened when run kdump on a NFS rootfs system.
Exist the following calling sequence when boot the second kernel:

azx_first_init()
--> azx_acquire_irq()
<-- interrupt come in, azx_interrupt() was called
--> hda_intel_init_chip()
--> azx_init_chip()
--> snd_hdac_bus_init_chip()
--> snd_hdac_bus_init_cmd_io();
--> init rirb.buf and corb.buf

Interrupt happened after azx_acquire_irq() while RIRB still didn't got
initialized, then NULL pointer will be used when process the interrupt.

Check the value of RIRB to ensure it is not NULL, to aviod some special
case may hang the system.
