Greg has further mentioned that the issue can be reproduced when
the kernel is booting with damon_reclaim.enabled=Y parameter, and I was also
reproducible on my test machine.
DAMON_RECLAIM calls 'schedule_delayed_work()', which uses 'system_wq', from a
parameter store callback ('enabled_store()'), which is called from
'parse_args()', which is again called from 'start_kernel()'.
And 'system_wq' is initialized from 'workqueue_init_early()', which is called
from 'start_kernel()' after 'parse_args()'.
Therefore the 'schedule_delayed_work()' touches the uninitialized 'system_wq',
and the init process gets kernel NULL pointer dereference, and the system
hangs.
I further confirmed below simple change fixes this issue. I will format it as
a patch and send soon.

* [PATCH] mm/damon/reclaim: schedule 'damon_reclaim_timer' only after 'system_wq' is initialized

Commit 059342d1dd4e ("mm/damon/reclaim: fix the timer always stays
active") made DAMON_RECLAIM's 'enabled' parameter store callback,
'enabled_store()', to schedule 'damon_reclaim_timer'. The scheduling
uses 'system_wq', which is initialized in 'workqueue_init_early()'. As
kernel parameters parsing function ('parse_args()') is called before
'workqueue_init_early()', 'enabled_store()' can be executed before
'workqueue_init_early()' and end up accessing the uninitialized
'system_wq'. As a result, the booting hang[1]. This commit fixes the
issue by checking if the initialization is done before scheduling the
timer.
