debugobjects: Fix boot crash when kmemleak and debugobjects enabled

Browse Source 
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.
