Why do these calculations show that the mapping $h \rightarrow W(h)$ is linear?

If a random variable $X$ satisfies $E[X^2] = 0$, then $X=0$ with probability $1$. The calculation shows that $$W(\lambda h + \mu g) - \lambda W(h) - \mu W(g) = 0$$ or equivalently that $$W(\lambda h + \mu g) = \lambda W(h) + \mu W(g)$$ with probability $1$.
