When booting a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel on an arm64 system with grace
processor, the following lockdep warning was reported during early boot.

  ================================
  WARNING: inconsistent lock state

The {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage happens when debug_objects_fill_pool() calls
fill_pool() in the hardirq context during early boot. It is caused by the
"system_state < SYSTEM_SCHEDULING" check in debug_objects_fill_pool()
which allows fill_pool() to be called from any context during early
boot before scheduling is enabled.

Calling fill_pool() from any context is problematic as deadlock can
happen even though the early boot window should be pretty short. Fix
that by restricting the fill_pool() call to only in_task() context
during early boot.
