debugobjects: Fix boot crash when kmemleak and debugobjects enabled
Order of initialization look like this: ... debugobjects kmemleak ...(lots of other subsystems)... workqueues (through early initcall) ... debugobjects use schedule_work for batch freeing of its data and kmemleak heavily use debugobjects, so when it comes to freeing and workqueues were not initialized yet, kernel crashes: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff810854d1>] __queue_work+0x29/0x41a [<ffffffff81085910>] queue_work_on+0x16/0x1d [<ffffffff81085abc>] queue_work+0x29/0x55 [<ffffffff81085afb>] schedule_work+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81242de1>] free_object+0x90/0x95 [<ffffffff81242f6d>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x187/0x1d3 [<ffffffff814b6504>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x30/0x4d [<ffffffff8110bd14>] ? free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [<ffffffff8110890c>] kmem_cache_free+0x64/0x12c [<ffffffff8110bd14>] free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [<ffffffff810b58bc>] __rcu_process_callbacks+0x1b6/0x2d9 ... because system_wq is NULL. Fix it by checking if workqueues susbystem was initialized before using.
