If there are uninitialized SMIs in the smi_infos list, i.e. with no
handlers set, then disable_si_irq() in cleanup_smi_one() will hit a null
pointer dereference when the former attempts to start the check enables
transaction. Thus, we panic during module exit.
Avoid panicking when there are uninitialized SMIs by checking for a handler
pointer before starting the check enables transaction.
