[PATCH] console blanking oops fix

Browse source 
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.
