[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.13 40/85] media: bt878: do not schedule tasklet when it is not setup

[ Upstream commit a3a54bf4bddaecda8b5767209cfc703f0be2841d ]

There is a problem with the tasklet in bt878. bt->tasklet is set by
dvb-bt8xx.ko, and bt878.ko can be loaded independently.
In this case if interrupt comes it may cause null-ptr-dereference.
To solve this issue, we check if the tasklet is actually set before
calling tasklet_schedule.
