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

 [<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.
