virtio_console: Don't access uninitialized data. 

Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device.
The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue.
So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device.

This fixes the following panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
