[media] cx88: fix NULL pointer dereference
This fixes a NULL pointer deference when loading the cx88_dvb module for a
Hauppauge HVR4000.
The bugzilla bug report is here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56271
The cause is that the wm8775 is optional, so even though the board info says
there is one, it doesn't have to be there. Checking whether the module was
actually loaded is much safer.
Note that this driver is quite buggy when it comes to unloading and reloading
modules. Unloading cx8800 and reloading it again will still cause a crash,
most likely because either the i2c bus isn't unloaded at the right time and/or
the v4l2_device_unregister isn't called at the right time.
