[PATCH] rfkill: Fix incorrect check to avoid NULL pointer dereference
From: Aditya Pakki
Date: Sun Dec 15 2019 - 10:34:16 EST
In rfkill_register, the struct rfkill pointer is first derefernced
and then checked for NULL. This patch removes the BUG_ON and returns
an error to the caller in case rfkill is NULL.
