    debugobjects: Fix boot crash when kmemleak and debugobjects enabled · 161b6ae0
    Marcin Slusarz 提交于
    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)

    because system_wq is NULL.
    
    Fix it by checking if workqueues susbystem was initialized before using.
