[PATCH] console blanking oops fix
When significant delays happen during boot (e.g. with a kernel debugger, but the problem has also seen in other cases) the timeout for blanking the console may trigger, but the work scheduler may not have been initialized, yet. schedule_work() will oops over the null keventd_wq.
