From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>
When printing out some early acpi messages I hit bug in work queue code. The system_wq is not initialized at the time acpi_early_init is called and causes irq storm that makes credit_entropy_bits call schedule_work and crash:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000102^M IP: [<ffffffff810bc282>] __queue_work+0x32/0x450^M PGD 0 ^M Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP^M ...

Preventing this by checking the system_wq has been initialized already.
